5850 bottleneck

[st0mp121]

Before i order one i want to make sure i should still see a good advantage on my PC. kinda worried that I'm going to run into a bottleneck issue.
I'm thinking of getting a 5850 to replace my 8800gts card on a asus p5n32-e sli plus motherboard. i am planing on building a new i7 rig in about 12 months. i want to upgrade a bit on this PC to hold me over until then. running a e6600 cpu in it atm. really need more fps currently on a monitor to 1920x1200 res i am kinda expecting from the marks i have seen about a 3x performance gain from what im running now? or will my cpu hold me back to much?

CPU will hold you back some definitely.

I say get it. You'll have it in the future, and it's not fully usable anyway, because it has the Direct X 11 that nobody is really using yet. It's a great card for Future proofing!
