I was just wondering if my Core 2 Duo E6320 chip is bottlenecking my 9800 GT (which is OCed a pretty good amount). Should I buy a new CPU if I plan on upgrading my GPU anytime soon? I haven't had too many problems with the chip and everything is pretty speedy, I was just wondering if its creatinga bottleneck with my graphics card.

You have a decent setup already unless you want to upgrade to a quad core or something.

I really don't see a bottleneck in your PC for current games. If anything your GPU would be the bottleneck.

Well, you could upgrade to PII or I7 if you want a top end quad core, but I don't think that is much of a bottleneck for the system. Just be sure to overclock that CPU, it can be overclocked pretty well.
