I doubt you would be able to overclock any CPU on it. It's still an OEM board which don't usually have any overclocking capabilities.
So, if you already have a CPU. Stick with it i would say. You really don't want to waste anymore money on several year old technology. And putting a 650 Ti would be bottlenecked no matter what CPU you could get in there.
Basically even a Quad core these days isn't enough for the higher end graphics cards. I went from a Q6600 @ 3.2GHz with the same GTX 560 i have now. And that would hold the graphics card back very much. Now with my i7 @ 3.4GHz my graphics card is left behind.
It's not the speed of the CPU matters so much, but the architecture.
What about instead of putting on the highest setting possible, what about medium settings? Still a bottleneck?
Me thinks you are trolling.
