Will Geforce 460 bottleneck Intel core I7 2700 3.5Ghz?

I'm going to upgrade my computer. I will first get a new graphic card later and get the CPU now. [b]But will it bottleneck?[[/b]
8GB ddr3 ram and Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3 motherboard.

Thanks for the answer

Edit:

It's Geforce MSI n460GTX hawk factory overclocked something.

Would like to know since my AMD phenom x4 810 2.6GHz bottlenecks my graphic card. And I would like to avoid it happens again ._.

Go the distance and get the K series for overclocking!

Chances are slim to none unless you are running at an insanely low ( yes low ) resolution, and even then the odds are unlikely.

Why not wait for Ivy Bridge processors to get released? You can have a more future-proof cpu or the one you want to buy now will drop in price...

It depends on the game(s). It depends on the resolution.
