i know that i should just break down and buy a new cpu but im overclocking the heck out of my i7 920 to just over 3.5ghz on watercooling , ill post my specs under this question, but my question is, with my oc'ed CPU from 2.66 to 3.55 i noticed a huge gain in my GPU fps's going up , but im ready to upgrade to a newer one and in a month or so later buy another new gpu for crossfire, will my cpu need upgraded? or will it with its OC be able to push these cards to there fullest.
