Yeh definetly.

Pentium D's suk so much and produce alot of heat with low performance.

Im sure a HD3870 would be alot more powerful than 40-60FPS

Whenever you play a game on or below 1280x1024, the CPU is usually the bottleneck, whereas when you climb up in resolution, the graphics card[s] become the bottleneck.
