System in sig...

This is a gaming rig. BF2, HL2, FEAR, SWBF2, COD2, etc etc...

What would you upgrade to get a performance boost?

A: The CPU...to something like a 4400 X2
B: Add another 7800 GTX.

I'm kinda thinking that my CPU is a serious bottleneck on my system, but I'm not really sure. Again, surfing the web, gaming, and e-mail. That's it.

Thanks
 
Generally speaking, these days the bottleneck is in the graphics system, not the CPU. The 3700+ is fine for running all those games, but adding another 7800GTX will improve performance more than a processor upgrade more. Higher resolutions, better AA and AF, better performance will all come from a new card, while getting a new CPU won't increase any of that. For everyday stuff its gonna be fine, but for gamin you would see the most improvement in a new graphics card.
