Out of pure boredom I started reading that thread and it's not as clear and idyllic as the OP makes it out to be.

At all.

Is that a good deal, or am I being stupid?

Hook that badboy up to a Q6600 Quad and away we go!

Wouldn't anything less than a Wolfdale or Allendale core CPU bottleneck that GPU?

But yeah, you should be fine with GTX260, 280, 285, 295, etc. Nvidia haven't been fibbing about those, AFAIK.
