Yeah you'll have some bottleneck. Have you tried overclocking your cpu? If you can get to 3ghz I think you'll be just fine. I'm not familiar with that model C2D but I had the first model that ever came out, it was 1.86ghz and I ran it at 3.4ghz for years.

yep theres a bottlenck, if you overclock it you will see a small performence boost, but u cannot solve the bottlneck by overclocking.

many games today use 4 cores(and some even more, 4 is enough thoguh) , and ur cpu has 2. as an example look at this crysis 3 cpu benchmark http://www.pcgameshardware.de/screenshots/original/2013/02/Crysis-3-Test-CPUs-VH-720p.png
yours is acttualy worst then the lowest cpu on that list.
and you shouldnt buy a new gpu before you buy a new cpu.

Yeah but a new cpu means new motherboard and new ram, I don't remember him saying he wanted to build a whole new system.

If you overclock your cpu to 3ghz the 6850 will run to it's max potential especially if your using a lower resolution.
