Bottlenecked or not ?

[Lornedh]

I am pretty sure my system is bottle necked by my CPU
 

•  
• i have a asus 770 direct cu oc 2gb
  
  kingston ssdnow 240gb 450mb read/write (games all ran on this )
  
  Amd am3+ socket asus sabertooth 990fx r2
  
  and a amd phenom x4 995 black edition 3.2ghz
  
  with 8 ggb of ddr 3 kingston memory 
  
  and WD green 1tb drive for storage
  and a 500gb WD Green for storage
•  

The main uses for this system is gaming i mainly play wow on ultra and i can dip down to like 5-10 fps at the start of boss pulls and usually maintain 40-60 fps other times.

Will i find better performance with not so cpu bases games?
I seem to have no issues with league of legends and minecraft or diablo 3

 

I am planning on getting a amd 9590 and a h100i for a cpu replacement sometime later this year 

Thanks in advance

 

EDIT:

 

Im monitoring my load with Asus gpu tweak and ai suite II for my cpu 

 

When gaming almost all 4 of my Cpu cores hit 70-80% load and my Gpu never really goes past 50-60%

 

I have heard that wow is a Almost all Cpu based game and a highend gpu has no real advantages

monitor GPU load with afterburner or any other GPU tool available if it's not 95% and up constantly then your cpu is holding you back in the game you are playing.

Yeah that cpu is a bit of a bottleneck. You could just get a new FX CPU and keep the same motherboard, that is a good board.

Sooo, the only issues is when you play WoW? Open the task manager when you play the game and after a frame drop alt - tab to see the % usage of your RAM & CPU. There is a bottleneck your your system, but not a huge one. These frame drops might be from the server or something (don't know..., never played wow)

yeah to be sure use gpuz and log to file while playing a game to see if it peaks at all. you can also monitor the cpu usage with something.... i think windows can do that if i'm not mistaken

CPU usage won't mean a lot unless it's pinned at 100% that would indicate a clear bottleneck...monitoring GPU load is a much better idea.

Should i have Vsync and Triple buffering on it seems to not affect performance or display 

 

since im not seeing artifacts or tearing.
