...to know if I'm getting in a bottleneck with my current components : abit ip35 pro ,q6600 2.4ghz ,radeon hd 5870 ,3gb ram
basically in games such as Hitman absolution I get about 30 fps un-scoped and borderlands 2 ~30 fps now the funny thing is Im using msi afterburner to monitor usage AND the GPU usage usually stays at 50% .Is that an indication of CPU bottleneck ?

Overclocking that Q6600 should remove almost all of that bottleneck. The Q6600 is about the same as a Phenom II clock for clock and a 3.2-3.4Ghz Phenom II would not bottleneck an HD 5870. Adding another gigabyte of RAM would not hurt either.
