So my GTX 460 (MSI Talon Attack) is dead (sniff...) and now it's time to buy a new one. Of the newer models, i'd go with a Radeon 6870. But my CPU is a Phenom II X4 965.

So my question is, with a Radeon 6870, will my processor become a bottleneck? Should i just get another GTX 460?

Yeah, but will the 965 really let me take advantage of those cards, won't it fall behind and become a bottleneck?

Try 'ANY'. The 965 is fast enough for any graphics card.

965 is a good processor. I recommend anything as long as the PSU supplies your system. If you are not really confident, then try overclocking your CPU. For myself I like this GPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168.... Any brand should be fine though.
