I just built a new PC. The specs are in my Info. Could my CPU possibly be a bottleneck? I plan on overclocking it to about 4Ghz. I play my games using just one monitor for now as my other one I need to grab from a friend. I usually play at 1680x1050 res. Was my choice in processor poor? Eventually I am sure I will upgrade to a quad core when they drop more in price.
 
no, its a good processor considering that games want megaherz not cores. so when u put it at 4 ghz, it would be perfect.

EDIT: welcome to tpu
 
Thanks :)
