Will a Quad Core Intel Q8400 be able to work with a 5870 XFX graphics card? or will the cpu bottleneck the card?

I don't think the Q8400 will bottleneck the HD 5870, maybe a bit, but not noticeably.

ok Thanks Lmeow, would a quad core be ok for gaming or would i need an i7 for gaming?

A Q8400 would be fine, certainly you'd see performance boosts with an i7, although really an i5 will already be more than enough. Core i5 750 that is.
