Comment:
can an overclocked graphics card give my cpu too much to do?

i have an ati x800 pro overclocked by the omega drives and when i play bf2 my cpu goes really high in temperature (65-72C)

is this because my graphics card is to much for my processor or is it something else that is doing it.

Assuming you have a prescott instead of a northwood, using stock cooler and having 65-72C full load is typical under these hot summer days... What I would is go to google.com and search for "throttlewatch" to see if your CPU throttles (slow down) during heavy load like bf2. If it doesn't, then there is nothing to worry about...
