Is my processor bottlenecking?

Hi, I've been working on a Budget PC build for a couple of weeks.

I originally had a 6670 in my PC and decided to get a 6850. After installing etc... i tested it on some games. I noticed i was getting around the same FPS as the 6670 if not worse. So I thought it may be my PSU as it came with the case so I got a CX600. Yet no change.

My processor is an A4-6300 3.9 dual core. Not sure how to check if it's bottlenecking so does anyone know?

I have ran some test on them and on a couple games both of my CPU cores shows 80 - 100%, so does that mean it's bottlenecking?
 


Not , yet Just try my recepe . Some games like Arma are badly coded . i saw such jokes that i even dont want to mention . ..

EDIT: Just tried some of my games and looking at MSI Afterburner it is my CPU. It shows 90-100% usage on both cores where as my GPU shows like 30-60 usage.
