I am looking to upgrade my computer a bit and I was wondering if I should even bother to upgrade or not after reading up on bottlenecking, and problems with some of the cards.

Here is my current specs

Asus P5Q Deluxe

Intel Core 2 Quad 2.66

OCZ 1066 (4GB) Ram

Radeon 3870

OCZ 600watt PSU

OS: Win XP 32bit SP3

What I am looking to upgrade to:

Asus P5Q Deluxe

Intel Core 2 Quad 2.66

Kingston 1066 (8GB) Ram

Radeon 6870

OCZ 600watt PSU

OS: Win 7 Pro 64bit SP1

Will I see any difference in speed and graphics?

I would like to get BF3 and MW3 in the future, but would like to know if it is even worth it, or if I should just wait and save for a new system.

 

You might, slow CPU is slow, be better to go ahead and get Windows 7 now and then wait for Christmas and the HD 7800 series before doing a complete system update, mobo, ram, CPU, and vid card.

Thanks I should mention I have all the upgraded parts other then the video card, so I am just wondering if the 6870 will be worth it, and if I would see any increase in proformance.

You will see a increase in performance. Also you will have DX11.

I would add an asterisk onto stumped statement and say you will only see an improvement in performance in GAMES, not *****CPU limited console ports and games which have sloppier coding than a pig pen

that cpu should be sufficient with 6870, some overclocking wouldnt hurt though. You can max out mw3 and set BF3 on ultra with MSAA off.
