I cheaped out alot on the processor when I built this rig. Right now i pull about a 10k even in 3dmark06 with everything overclocked to the max. I definately know that the GPU is being bottlenecked, because I have seen several benchmarks with it pulling 11.5k stock on a non overclocked system. Would upgrading to a 6400+ x2, or even a 6000+ x2, overclocking it, pull the bottleneck off the gpu? Havent seen any benchmark around with any of those 2 processors and an 8800gs, but ive seen on ORB someone with a 6400+ and an 8800gt getting a 14k 3dmark06, and the 8800gs is slightly lower in performence then the 8800gt, so according to that, unbottlenecked I could probably get it up to atleast a 13k 3dmark06 with everything overclocked to the max.
Any input? Would it be worth it to spend ~120 on a processor upgrade? Or should i just wait and save up a few more bucks and buy a new motherboard and buy a q6600?
