Is this a good pair?

CPU: AMD Athlon II x2 270 @ 3.4 GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6670

Is this a good pair for casual gaming? Will it give good performance? Will there be bottlenecking?

It is fine for casual gaming. Both are entry level and no bottleneck.

Nah they work fine together, but I would seriously recommend upgrading your GPU to something in the 7800 series if you want to play modern games

It'll work but check the prices on the 7750 or 7770 gpu vs. 6670. It may only be a $10 to 20 diff. but well worth it.

Thanks for the help, but wouldn't 7800 series really bottleneck an Athlon?

Quite possibly, but not if you get one of the lower end 7800s 😉

HD7750 would be a nice compromise and lot stronger than 6670, often you can grab them in the same price range as the 6670.
