In most titles the GPU will be working harder than the CPU. If you upgraded the GPU, you would most likely get better performance, but do you have the budget to? 

CPU: Intel Core i7 3770 @ 3.91 GHz RAM: G.Skill 4x4GB 2133Mhz DDR3 GPU: AMD HD 7970 3GB SSD: Samsung 840 Evo 500GB PSU: Corsair HX620W  Motherboard: Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 Case: Phanteks P400 Tempered Glass (Black) Monitor: Dell P2412H, Dell 2012H Keyboard: Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Classic Mouse: Logitech G203 Prodigy HDD: WD Black 3TB

If your GPU is reaching 100% usage it means it's being fully utilized.

why such old components... like you can find good performing components that are newer and still cheap.

It's fine, GPU working to potential and CPU not overworked.

 

If it were the other way round with CPU at 80-100% and GPU at 25-40% it would be a pretty conclusive CPU bottleneck.

I would strongly suggest getting a completely new system, preferably AMD based if you want a good price/performance value.

Thanks! For the input

Still being surprised by the i7 920 to this date. Especially when it launched in 2008. When its being paired up with a 2014 gpu
