Hey guys. I'm looking to upgrade my pc. It currently has and phenom ii x2 over clocked to 3.7 on stock air and a 6950 also with a bit of an overlock. (about 100mhz on both clock and memory) This has served me well for playing battlefield 3 with decent fps on about medium settings( some set to high but in general I'm in the middle with things) I know my CPU is bottlenecking my machine and honestly im happy with my gpu for now so the part in question I believe is my CPU( but I'm not opposed to conversations on other parts for my machine as well) I'm certainly not opposed to switching to intel even tho it means switching boards but what are your guys thoughts? What kinda things or setups do you suggest? Oh and I only play on one monitor. 23" 1920x1080 Thanks for the help!

And fx series is a bust. I'm really tempted to just go with a 2700k. It's more than enough than I need at the moment and even when I get a new GPU ( prob an 8000 series,I'm one to skip generations) I still think I should be good with it.
