I am pretty sure my system is bottle necked by my CPU


  • i have a asus 770 direct cu oc 2gb

    kingston ssdnow 240gb 450mb read/write (all games ran off my ssd)

    Amd am3+ socket asus sabertooth 990fx r2

    and a amd phenom x4 995 black edition 3.2ghz

    with 8 ggb of ddr 3 kingston memory

    and WD green 1tb drive for storage
    and a 500gb WD Green for storage

The main uses for this system is gaming i mainly play wow on ultra and i can dip down to like 5-10 fps at the start of boss pulls and usually maintain 40-60 fps other times.

Will i find better performance with not so cpu bases games?
I seem to have no issues with league of legends and minecraft or diablo 3


Thanks in advance

Yeah, moving up to at least a FX6350 will bring some benefit. Since AMD's value is so high you might want to get at least a 8320 and overclock it a bit, or a 8350 if you don't want to overclock, and that should be on par with the rest of your system.
