Graphics card bottlenecking

[lornj]

Currently my graphics card is an 8800 gts(512). Im looking at getting either a gtx 460 or the new gtx 550. Ive heard your system could bottleneck your graphics card and you wouldnt be able to get the most out of your card. My system is a q6600 overclocked to 3.2ghz, 8g of ram and a 750 watt power supply. Which card would best fit that setup and not be bottlenecked?

depends on the games you will be playing as there are games that are horribly cpu bound.

waiting on the old republic, archage, GW2 and im currently playing Rift. I just want to make sure I stay on the up and up for games as far as graphics cards are concerned and I can get the most out of the games graphics.

go for the GTX 460!! it should be fine with Q6600!

550ti is not worth of money anyways!
