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.

The 8800GTX should be able to handle any HD video playback that you throw at it including any Blue-Ray or HD-DVD with the Nvidia HD Purvideo decoder.

What kind of bottleneck are you expecting to see? Is your question about PVR/HTPC features or is in general terms? Is it about how good this video card will be to play the newest games or what?

Remember that the 8800 generation of video card can be used both as DirectX 9L and DirectX10 for Vista based OS or DirectX 9c for Windows XP, so which OS are we talking about?

You didn't list any capture card (TV tuner), so it is really hard to see what possible limitation that could be for your system and what kind of transcoding to expect being done, while you output to display (video) of any size or resolution. That would be the real limit for GBPVR usage as far as I can see it.
Abit AT8-32X/Athlon64 X2 4200+@2200Mhz/2GB DDR RAM/Samsung 2x 250 GB/Club3D X1950XT+PowerColor Theatre 550 pro (PCIe x1)
CRT 19 inch/ 1600 x 1200 pxl/32 bit colour
Logitech Z-5400 surround system - DDL/DD ProLogic2 (96kHz/24kbit)/DTS decoder

PVR: GBPVR v.1.1.15;MPC+FFDshow+Haali splitter and renderer (use SM 2.0 on videocard);Avidemux+AutoMen+MPlayer/MEncoder/Stattik batch file[/COLOR]
