5830 with a core 2 duo e7300?

[makua]

im wondering if i will be able to get the most out of the graphics card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102878) if i have an intel core 2 duo e7300(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115132&cm_re=e7300-_-19-115-132-_-Product) or should i upgrade my cpu first?

^ Stay away from the 5830 like the plauge.

Go for either a 5770 or a 5850.

And no, That CPU won't bottleneck a 5770 or a 5850 in 95%+ games.
