I had a question about my system, when I overclock the cpu to get the memory to 2000mhz I actually get a worse 3d mark score. I was also wondering if the cpu is bottlenecking the gpu with this setup? Im currently running processor at default 3.2ghz

Your score can go down when overclocking because of instabilities. Are you sure the overclock is stable? Are the ram timings and voltage setup properly?

At stock frequency maybe a little bottleneck, but nothing to worry about. Certainly getting into the mid and upper 3ghz will help.
