I have my old i7 920 and i7 930 and want to know where a bottleneck would occur with my systems using gtx 970's as the gpu .. is it possible to tell where it would be in games considering i want to move up to a minimum of 2560x1440 on two new monitors. Will it be mobo, memory, cpu or gpu ?? is there software that can determine this?

Right here is the plan. I'm not going to upgrade anything for either system now and try and overclock both the 920 and 930 to around 3.8 each. This is to run a single 2560x1440 monitor on each system via a single GTX 970 G1 GPU.
So to start with I need to find out some settings for my 930 overclock. I've read loads of "how to" guides and quite honestly all I want is the figures to punch in and to be finished with it. Not opposed to testing and tweaking but I just want this done. My system is:
i7 930 DO
mobo: EX58A- UD3R
ram: 6GB Patriot (Enthusiast) 1600LL, DDR3, @ 533 MHz 7-7-7-20 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS) / 27-59-4-8-4-4 (RC-RFC-RRD-WR-WTR-RTP) at 1.65 volts
Now this is all aimed at not upgrading anything else for another year and then build from scratch. Has anybody got the bios settings for me to achieve this please. Then I shall do the same for my 920
