so i got a 560 in sli configuration and an i3-2100 and that doesn't work well together.
i was testing BF4 the other day and got 100% cpu usage and only 26%-30% gpu usage so i'm taking a strong bet that there's bottleneck. i was wondering what's the cheapest cpu that i could buy that wold not give me any bottleneck.

yes, the i5-2500 has the same socket as your i3-2100. Though I'd say since you have a z68 chipset, go for an i5-2500k to make it a bit more future-proof (since it is OC enabled), or an i5-3570k (but this will require an updated BIOS for your mobo, totally doable while you have your i3-2100).
