Here is the CPU-Z of my system. Being able to just upgrade CPU currently would be great due to not having $1500ish I would like for a new system yet, and being able to upgrade that for now, then later doing rest with it would be awesome. Just want better FPS on higher settings to enhance my gameplay! Also looking at maybe getting COD4, so best results would be from....?

Always thought maybe CPU was bottleneck more than GPU, since I figured 7800GTX in SLI should at least still be reasonable, til I step to DX10.
