I am planning to get an 8800gtx from MSI or a EVGA brand.
The Card I am planning to get is a MSI GeForce 8800 GTX OC 768 MB
I have a AMD Athlon X2 4200+ OCed to 2.6 gHz. 2Gb of Dual Channeled Ram (OCZ Platinum

PC2-6400 = DDR2 800). MSI K9N Diamond 590 SLI MCP Motherboard. And a Antec Trio 650 watt, 3

12v railing arrangment. Will my system be Bottlenecked with a 8800 Gtx onboard, or not.

I couldn't tell exactly what you meant by the way you worded your question, but the 8800 would definitely not be a bottle neck.  Your system specs seem decent enough to handle most games coming out so it should be ok.  But upgrading the processor definitely wouldn't hurt if you start to see some slowness in games.  Fortunately with a video card as fast as the 8800 you won't tax your processor as much while running games, so that will help a lot.
