I'm currently looking to upgrade my GPU, but my rig I built is now over 4 years old. It still runs great, but I'd like some extra performance when playing BF3 and Skyrim. My current GPU is an amd 5750 1gig running at stock speed and the rest of my setup is listed below. At what level of GPU upgrade will my CPU become a hindrance? I was thinking of getting a 6950, but might wait till Jan when the 7950 comes out. Will the tried and true Q6600 hinder performance?
Current Setup:
Antec 900
Antec 850 PSU (I used to have a crossfire setup with 2900s)
Q6600 OC'd to 3.0ghz
4gig Mushkin ddr2 @ 1066 5-5-5-18 2t
Gigabyte X38-DQ6
MSI 5750 1gig DDR5 @ Stock speeds
Win 7 32bit
