A 965 at that clock speed should max the potential of 6850's.
A 6850 isn't exactly a monster by itself, you should be fine.
Radeons scale well.

Bottlenecking Question

Honestly? No. Not honestly? No.

I think You should be good with Your CPU and CF configuration. And even if, then bottlenecking will be very small, You shouldn't see any difference.
YES it will
Heres a comparison between my old AMD rig and another members intel rig.
Both sets of cards are 6870s.

Notice how his minimum fps was equal to my average fps. My 945 was a 4ghz and they still bottlenecked pretty badly.

Both cards are very close in performance, and the 965 even at 4ghz like mine was wont be fast enough to push the cards. Games will still play fine BUT you will never max out your gpu usage, so hence you will be bottlenecked.

Yes, I game at 1920x1080 and my fps wouldnt go over what that average was. Also in BFBC2 I would max out at like 90fps with 2 6870s with averages in the 60s, my one 570 peaks at 110fps and the average is between 80-90fps. Clearly the 570 is not as powerful as 2 6870s but they were gimped due to my cpu. I would suggest that you get 1 more powerful card OR if you already have a 6850 get another but save for a cpu upgrade sometime soon. Thats the only way they will perform at their best, otherwise they will be gimped.
