Should be just fine. If you do want to overclock you can always consider doing a BSEL mod

yes there will be a bottleneck, that cpu is quite slow, not really enough to play many new games smoothly. if you can, an upgrade to an e7500 or something would be a good idea.

You are probaby good to overclock to 3ghz in BIOS with very slight bump in voltage.
I've been running an e5600 @3.6 ghz with minimal increase in voltage for a couple of years now i think and there wasnt even the slightest issue.
2.8-3ghz should even be possible with the stock intel cooler although not recomended.

guys i play games at 1024x768 resolution will it still bottleneck !

When you have an issue with the CPU limiting your FPS the lower the resolution the badder it gets usually. You would actually be better off playing at 1920 x 1080. So yes it will slow you down.
