I don't think it will be a bottleneck, I was running a core 2 duo E6550 2333mhz clocked to 3000mhz with an ATI HD5750 and everything seemed to work fine.
I'm now running a core 2 quad Q6600 overclocked to 3200mhz and don't see much diffrence at all in games that only use 1 or 2 CPU cores.

With a 6870 you will probably see some bottlenecking, especially in newer games like Battlefield.

You might to try to OC your processor a bit, if you feel comfortable doing so.

It might indeed be a better idea to take things slow when it comes to overclocking your CPU :p.

Unless you already know what your processor can do off course.

I had my e8400 to 4.5GHz pretty easy without much tweaking, at least 4 GHz should be easily obtainable.

I'd suggest getting a newer video card tho if you're keeping that system around for gaming.
