Is my RAM or CPU bottle-necking my GPU?

Hey,

I have a GTX 560 TI which appears to be getting bottle-necked hard. I believe this is my RAM's fault.

Memory: 8GB DDR2-400mhz 6-6-18-24

This could also be my CPU's fault:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.6ghz.

I don't really care about fixing the bottleneck since this system was given to me for free. I'm currently in the process of building a new one, but I'm just wondering if my RAM or my CPU, or maybe both, are bottlenecking my GPU.

Heh... just checked and had a little chuckle. CPU usage at IDLE is 95%. I can't imagine what it is during gaming. I'm pretty sure it's my CPU's fault for the bottle-necking.
