GPU/CPU limitation?

Using 1600X1050 for gaming is my rigg more likely to be CPU or GPU limited?

Q6600

O.k well I took the risk (£100 upgrade) and got my Q6600.

I'm very pleased with the performace.
I obtained another 1500K points in 3D mark 06 with everything at stock over my E6600.

Overclocking wise my [email protected] and GTX@660/1000 pulled 12455 - 06 3D marks (pritty much the limit)

My [email protected] and GTX@660/1000 managed 13622 - 06 3D Marks (still a little more to push yet, 14k?).

Oh and my Windows CPU index score went from 5.8 to 5.9, my E-Penis is raging!

This is just benching though, games I can agree there wont be a great deal of difference although WIC increased by 5/6FPS, so I guess its just a little future proofing *thinks about Crysis*

Whats the point in future proofing if you are the sort who would upgrade perfectly acceptable high end components anyway?
