Ok I was wondering if there was a simple program out there which, as the title says, finds out where your pcs bottlenecks are.
It shouldnt be too hard to make. It would be a very small program that runs in the background all the time, and keeps logs. It would then just need to 'ping' your harddrive with a byte of data, and ping your cpu with a tiny command, same with ram and graphics.
This way if one doesnt receive a reply you know that component is under high stress at the time.

Not sure if that idea woudl work, but still I would love something that could find bottlenecks on your system. Would make upgrading a lot easier.
 
Spotlight might be worth a look. Gives a nice graphic overview of what's going on and has a lot of info for trouble shooting etc. Meant more for server admins but might be what you're after?
