Hi
          I just bought a new BFG OC nVidia 6800 (non-ultra or gt) and was
wondering if a better cpu and motherboard would get me better gaming
performance. And (if you could tell me) how much percentage I would gain.
        
                                                                            
Thanks B@ZOOKA
