Im definitely not the smartest person here, but I dont forsee any issues with bottlenecking.

Although these are things you should probably ask before you buy it... Not after... lol

Ditto.

It depends on how long you plan on having the system, for now the E8400 will be enough but further down the road a quad will be what you need.

There's always something bottlenecking, here it's probably your 260, I am however in no way talking this setup down, it'll kick a$$.
 
Actually, one bottleneck I did just notice is your Vista 32bit... It wont allow you to use all 4 GB of that RAM. I would definitely upgrade to 64bit.

well i was planing on starting out with the dual core at 3.0 ghz and in the future when more games start adapting all 4 cores i would move to a quad. also about the vista 64 bit i didnt really want 64 bit because i thought that you kinda lose compatibility with alot of programs. not sure.

Most of the programs you will lose compatibility with have a few simple solutions.

Turning off UAC will fix the compatibility issues with most games.
Try looking for alternative software for whatever it is you need. Many people have re-made a lot of programs to be compatible.
The program is just out dated and you probably dont need it anyway.

Ask these guys! They know what to do to fix it :p

Yes, certainly turn off UAC. :P

TBH I actually haven't had very many issues with 64-bit Vista. All my games run great, only ones that won't are MOHAA (2001) and older games. Anything new runs great.

If you do have an older program that won't run properly, usually setting it to run in XP compatibility mode will fix the issues.

Overall though, I doubt you'll have very many issues with 64-bit.
