Default possable cpu bottleneck?

hi all

im upgrading my system and looking for a bit of advice, current spec

e6400 @ 3.4ghz
asus P5Q
HD4850 512mb (Have ordered a HD4870X2)
4gb 800 xms2 ram
corsair tx750

I use my system for gaming mostly @ 1920x1080.

Will my current CPU bottleneck my new videocard? If so by how much and would it be worth getting a e8400 oc'in to 4ghz or a q9550?
or waiting a while for i7's prices to fall.

all help is appreciated guys

I don't think there would be a bottleneck. If so, it wouldn't be very noticeable.
