So i finally decided it was time for a video card update(Gotta love starcraft) and went ahead and ordered a EVGA 470 GTX today. My question is how likely is it that my CPU will be a bottleneck with this card? I will mostly be playing WoW/SC2/COD/(any new Dx11 game pretty much)

Also anyone with a similar CPU running a new gen card have any feedback?

ty folks!
 
Assuming your clocked around 3.4Ghz (Based on Sig) I'd think you Q6600 is fine and should not present any bottleneck issues that would affect smooth gameplay.
 
Yeah you don't have to worry about a bottleneck with that, at least on a single gpu.

I'm jealous of all you long term C2Q owners, most of you are going to be able to squeeze 5 years of good life from those chips.
