I've been upgrading my gaming rig a lot lately, finally getting a new GPU and power supply, and improving ventilation. In CPU intensive games (eg. Planetside 2) I seem to be suffering ever so slightly more than I expected to (30-40 fps at highest settings). Is my i7 2600 outdated? I don't thing it merits an upgrade any time soon, but I'm wondering how much it lags behind today's standards.
As a side note, does the temperature effect my performance in any way? I get a max of 60 degrees most of the time.
