Bottleneck?

[iNvidia]

Hi guys.
Im Planning to get a new Graphics card.
Between the HD6870 and the GTX560.
But my question is,
Would my Specs bottleneck that card?
SPECS :
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 2,5Ghz
4GB Ram
Antec BP500U Continious Power.

I Have a Packard Bell so i don't think overclocking won't be a good option.

plz help

EDIT: My resolution is 1680x1050

It depends on the game but overall not massively

You wouldn't notice a difference between the two when it comes to the bottle neck.

They are both way too burly for your CPU.

It would depend on which games you play. If the games are well threaded, you should be fine. Games that can only use two cores are going to get bottlenecked more severely. Since this is a prebuilt, you probably can't overclock, so that isn't an option. Both cards perform about the same, so you can look around at benchmarks to see if any of the games you are into favour AMD or nvidia, and get whichever performs better in the games you want. If the performance is the same either way, just get whatever is cheaper.

I'd say grab one of those cards. Your CPU won't hold either card back too much on most titles, especially as more titles get more heavily threaded. You can also use the card in a future build, whenever you feel the need for more CPU horsepower.

But would a HD6870 fit in a Thermaltake v3 black edition?
The box says that the max lenght is 10.5 inches.
