I have a AMD X2 6000+ CPU,  6GB DDR2 RAM, Abit AN9 32x Motherboard, soundblaster xtrmemmusic sound card, and XFX GTX285 Video card.  I was talking to a guy the other day and he told me that I wasn't getting the most out of the vid card b/c of the CPU.  He suggested the AMD Phenom II 945 X4 CPU with a current motherboard to get the most out of the vid card.  My question...   How much of a performance difference will  I notice by upgrading?  i play MMO's mainly, some FPS..  Any help would be appreciated.
