Games with a lot of units and pathing, so Real Time Strategy games are about the most CPU intensive. Games with a lot of and/or complex AI, complex scripting, or physics that are not handled by the GPU are also very CPU intensive. Most graphics rendering is handled by the graphics card though, that's why we are a little skeptical that the 3750 (a really really good processor) could possibly be the bottleneck.
RTS like Starcraft II & Shogun total war II Are more cpu dependent however the only factor that could limit you is not overclocking ur cpu this can be quickly solve by spent around 30$USD For a Cooler master Hyper 212+ or 45$ for a HAVIK 120
You then go into THE UEFI Bios and up the Multiplier like to 44 and it go from 34 x 100mhz to 44x 100 mhz that 4.4Ghz there also auto overclocking feature for those who really have no idea how to overclock despite how easy it is
There also Some RPG that are cpu dependent Like Skyrim because of how the Physic is basically Render into the CPU or the Witcher II For some reason according benchmark but there still majorly more affected by GPU but like i said Overclocking is the only thing that will make a difference

My i5 bottlenecks my cards in just shogun 2 and arma 2. Although I can get rid of the bottleneck in arma 2 by just cranking up the 3d resolutionGamingVengeance

that not possible that the i5 2500k 4.5ghz bottrleneck ur card it the video card driver and poor Games Support for using Extra DDR3 & Video Card Memory I'm Almost certain that an i5 2500K At 4.5Ghz will be still see a huge boost with 2x GTX 780 Which are Kepler Refresh when they launch Nvidia say expect 45% boost over GTX 680 but we have to wait and see if that true :P
Anyhow as for Overclocking's I can find comparison of benchmark for you that compare 3.4Ghz to 4.0Ghz + and see that some game at 1080P Benefit of it but from personal experience it helped alot in Starcraft 2 the Overclocking's just as Benchmark did show
