Could there be a major bottleneck in my system?

Hello everyone,

I recently installed another EVGA GTX 650 TI BOOST SuperClocked 2GB model and I didnt quite see the performance increase I had desired. I had seen several benchmarks showing that these cards scale exceptionally well, however I don't seem to have that much luck with them. So my question is: Could there be a major bottleneck somewhere in my system? Also if there is, can you tell me what component is causing it or is there a program I can run to find out? All feedback is appreciated!

My system:

CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition @ 3.4 GHz

GPU: Two EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOSTs running in SLI ( Both cards have been factory "superclocked")

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3

PSU(Likely not necessary, but just in case) : Corsair Enthusiast TX750 750 watts.

HDD: WesternDigital 500GB 7200 RPM.

RAM: 8 GB Kingston HyperX I believe to be running at 1333 mhz, but I wouldn't take my own word for it :p

I will keep a keen eye on this thread and try to respond as soon as I can. Once again, thank you for your time.

Alright, I overclocked from 3.4 GHz to 3.8, and noticed an slight increase however the fps drops weren't as severe. So Ill assume I have a moderate bottleneck in the CPU correct?
