Hey guys thanks for taking time to read this I got my i7 950 running at 4.2 got 780 gtx on release I keep thinking my CPU is to old and holding my gpu back when I play wow the CPU usage is 30% and gpu at 60% also when playing bf3 i get CPU usage at 70% gpu at 80% what I don't get is why arnt either of them maxing out thanks

I am thinking of upgrading to i7 4770k will cost me 700 quid as I'll buy decent mobo and ram and cooler so not a cheap upgrade especially if I am wrong my CPU is fine

My pc specs are
I7 950 @ 4.2 cooled with h80
X58 gigabyte
12 gb ram & 1600
Gtx 780 gtx

I play 1080p I have duel monitors one for gaming and one for watching movies
Thanks for reading
