I have a 680i SLI with an E8400 core duo @3.00 GHz and a MSI gtx 470.
and i've been getting bad performance on certain games such as bfbc2.
so, people on the forums have been telling me that my cpu is doing all the
work(bottlenecked) and my graphics card isnt. so my question is what
motherboard and cpu should i get(idk if they come paired or not), my current specs:
E8400 core duo @3.00 GHz
MSI gtx 470
8 GB ddr2
600 watt psu
nForce 680i SLI

also, is there anything i could do to fix the bottlenecking, or should i just upgrade? thanks in advance :D
