GPU Upgrade/Bottlenecking

I am hoping to upgrade from my current ATI HD 5770 to an Nvidia 560Ti but only have a Q6600 2.4ghz Stock. I was wondering if I would be bottlenecked and not see any good an improvement over the 5770. All information is appreciated.

Thanks, Antony

Upgrading would cost to much, Motherboard, CPU, RAM and a 560Ti would be around £500 and it's not really justified. I have tried getting it to 3.2ghz but had no idea what I was doing and only have a stock cooler.

I can afford a cooler as well as a GPU, I just wanted to know that on stock 2.4ghz would I actually see better fps is games over my 5770. And if so what cooler would be good? I have an Asus P5Q, Q6600 and an NZXT Phantom case.

Thanks, Antony

So I should be okay running it overlocked at 3.2ghz with that? And Will I be okay spending money on a new card? Will I see much of an FPS improvement.

Thanks, Antony
