New gpu.

[4870x2card]

i have a ASRock extreme3 gen3 motherboard, with an intel g840 cpu and 8 gb's of pny ddr3-1333 ram would a EVGA GTX460 run good with my system without bottlenecking or anything? Also i have a Antec 650w psu so im sure i have enough power to run it.

Yes, it would run good.
Are you still at the planning stage of buying the 460 or do you already own it?

Intel g840 cpu is a dual core, So what are you planing on running? If you are wanting to run a game like BF3 or even some game's like Black Ops, it might not run the game to well (should get away with black ops, poorly optimized game) Anything like older stuff like COD4 or even a lot of the newer stuff would be just fine with he GTX460. Just don't expect it to run every game on the market like BF3 at full details.

Intel G840 is actually a very decent entry level gaming CPU . Of course, you won't be maxing BF3 with it, but he will not run into issues with black ops for sure (hell, my old Phenom 9550 ran it fine!).

You are comparing 2 cores to 4 cores.
Certain games the G840 will choke, but not many.

Not really. Those two cores are faster than Phenom's 4 cores together. Remember, G840 is a sandy bridge CPU.
