Ya. He can go for new.
But the Q8400 is still a beast, just like the Q6600 and Q9550. IMO it will last.

I think it will last minimum for 2 years coz games mostly depends on gpu and you have a great gpu and core2quad q8400 is not something to be ignored as outdated

No bottleneck imho. Q8400 is fast enough.

q8400 is slightly slower than athlon II x4 635. but as athlon II 635 + gtx 560 is not a bottleneck, q8400 is also not a bottleneck.

well its about head-to-head. probably.
but you dont need to worry.
quad core processors don't bottleneck... atleast not single cards.
you can even use a GTX 580 if you want with your proccy.

Both are exactly similar in performance. Q8400 might be slightly faster in gaming with it's L3 cache. Athlon II X4 6xx have better power consumption at idle though.

yes. i got this piece of knowledge from OCN.
a guy asked if his quad...which btw is older than yours...probably Q6600..
...would bottleneck his new GTX 580.
