Hello, I've been gaming on the following system for the better part of 6ish years:
I have some concerns over a potential bottleneck somewhere. I'm not the most technically literate when it comes to PC parts, but from my experience on some select games I think there's a CPU bottleneck.
Two games I play: Skyrim and CS:GO. I am able to mod Skyrim intensively, with all the fancy shaders and what not, and pull a steady, smooth FPS at max settings. On the other hand, even when I pull my settings to bare minimum on CS:GO, I am only able to achieve ~60 FPS. Oh, and it's very stuttery.
I've down some digging into my CPU and GPU, and the benchmarks show that both have shown average user performance in CS:GO to be in the 100-200 range. Is the bottleneck another component? Or did I goof up my settings somewhere?
Mobo: Gigabyte Z68AP-D3

RAM: (x4) 2G DDR3 (not sure how to find manufacturer w/o opening case)
Storage: (1TB, HDD) Seagate ST310000528AS
