Intel E8500 and EVGA GTX295

I am really tempted by the GeForce GTX 295 graphics card. Currently I have my E8500 running at stock speeds and I know I will have an immediate CPU bottleneck by installing the GTX 295 gpu. Can anybody make a stab at what sort of OC I would need to run the GTX 295 well with a Intel E8500? I am guessing you are going to say 4GHZ+ and I don't know if I can get there with:

Intel E8500 w/ Arctic Cooling Pro - CPU
Intel Extreme DP45SG-mobo (big question mark here)
EVGA GTX 260 216core, SC - GPU
G. Skill DDR3 @ 1333, 9-9-9-24 Ram
Corsair TX750w - Power
Western Digital 500gb - Hard drive
XP - OS

blah, blah, blah .....

Specs for the Video Card
