you will get a botleneck, though less of one since you have overclocked, it is still a good choice of upgrade ass you will get much better performance from a GTX 760 from GTX 460.

The GTX 660Ti or 7870 (or R9 270/X for new series AMD), seems to have little bottleneck and great performance.

Thanks for responses i think i will just get the GTX 760 or equivalent and deal with the tiny bottleneck for now and look into replacing my board and CPU within the next 3- 6 months or so then i can just move a perfectly good card to a newer system without needing to purchase a newer card thanks :)
