Hey guys, just wondering if there is a method to determine which part is bottlenecking my system?

i7 920 @ 4.2
Asus P6X58D-E
6gb 1600mhz
64gb SSD Corsair
2x 1gb GTX 460's @ 810/1620/2100

Thanks.
 
Monitor cpu and gpu usage, if the cpu usage is 100% while gaming and the gpu's are less, maybe 50% ish then there is a good chance the cpu is bottlenecking the gpu's, i would say tho a 920 @ 4.2GHz is more than enough for thoes cards, try overclocking the gpu's a bit and test, if u get more fps then it's probably the gpu's.

Thanks for the tip.
