nice.... i shall put a tank of LN on order....
Hell i spent a lot of cash on my rig and showing my specs and asking a simple question to some people means im an epeen spammer then so be it. Im taking my epeen out so open wide....
seriously guys the reason i asked is that i was going to go for an eyefinity set up... there are people on here with better rigs.... Grow up....

i still stand by my original statement.
you must have known your rig was the dogs. so why ask the question? u have a cpu clocked much higher than any you can buy and the fastest graphics card around at the mo.
as for some people having faster rigs. indeed they do but they dont go asking if they have a bottleneck.
i respect that your query is in regards to eyefinity but you never mentioned it at all in your op. but tbh i would imagine if someone had a rig as fast as that then they ought to really know the answer themselves. even if there is a bottleneck, what are u going to run that is gonna struggle?
apologies if any offence was caused.

I believe that your GPU is fast enough that a 4Ghz i7 will still be the bottleneck in World of Warcraft!... However WOW is exceptionally old, with a very old graphics engine, and demands a lot from the CPU.
But you wont get anything better, the i7 is clock for clock the best CPU currently available, and games vary from using 2 cores "just about" to using 4 cores quite well. A 6 core CPU is pretty much pointless with current games.
On the whole, you have the correct cpu for your graphics card.
