I'm starting to not be able to run games on even high anymore so I figure it's time to replace some hardware.

CPU: Intel Core i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40 GHz (8 CPUs), ~ 3.4GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti

Which one of these is bottle-necking the other? Do you have any suggestions on what I should replace one of these with?
 
Solution
The 560ti is holding you back, it's a bit dated. I would wait to see what nVidia announces this month before upgrading, you may be able to get a good deal on say a GTX970, also the GTX770's prices are going to be cut down as well if that fits your budget better.
