What kind of performance can I expect out of this combination?

An AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ and an 8800 GTX?

I'm hoping the processor won't bottleneck the GPU...

As long as you have a processor around E6600 or FX-62 performance level, you don't have to worry about bottlenecking. That combo should do you fine, until AMD come out with AM2+ processors.

No bottlenecks at all, but what are you going to use it for? Just basic applications or specific games? Just make sure you add a good PSU and good/enough RAM to that system.

That depends on what resolution you plan to drive that GTX at - I would say 1024x768 the GPU isn't even going to break a sweat...
