Is my GPU being bottle necked by my CPU? Not really.

It varies by game and settings, of course, but you should have few problems with frames 50--60 at 1080p, even with substantial eye candy.

Even on your 760 Chipset, you should be able to get a little more out of your processor if you feel you need it ---- most will peak at 4- to 4.1GHz.

On a more qualified motherboard like the Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P, you will have no issues at 4.5GHz+ with a $20 cooler and an FX-4300.

"Cut-down" FX chips take less volts -especially a 95w version- and game great. Even better with a little OC nudge.

Would upgrading to a FX-8370E increase performance at all? Its seems to be the highest CPU I cant get/afford for my board.
