Painfully CPU heavy and GPU lite?


The Game Rundown: Finding CPU/GPU Bottlenecks, Part 2

Conclusion: A Trend Toward 3+ Cores

The average optimal number of CPU cores suggested by the test results is 2.75, showing a clear trend towards at least three CPU cores.The question of whether the CPU or GPU is most important is easily answered. If you don't have a multi-core CPU, then upgrade it. If you have a dual-core CPU at around 3 GHz, then invest your money into a graphics card, as most games are GPU-limited. This is not something that will change with new DirectX 11 games.

If you are not happy building the PC yourself add the optional GTX 460 and Antec 500W power supply if gaming is your main use
