Still slow graphics

I just bought a gts250. Runs great. Only problem I'm seeing that people are running crysis with ease with a 9600. My card is having problems on the natural mode for that game. I have a be2350 athlon 64 x2 processor. Could this be my problem? Im in the process of building a new computer right now I just want to know if its my card or processor

^ The GTS 250 is a very good card...
And at what resolution do you game ? And Yes that CPU is very weak for gaming...

I game at 1440 x 900. I looked into overclocking my cpu but my bios wont let me. Im in the process of building a new computer. Asus p7p55d pro mb with Intel Core i5 750 process. It has sli, but i didnt know if that card was going to be good enough because I couldnt even run crysis at higher settings. If this is a good buying option Im thinking of doing a trade up on the 250 and getting one of the new 300 series coming out soon if its within the trade up days.

Your CPU is the bottleneck.

Like I said the CPU is the main bottleneck...And as for running Crysis @ that resolution, you would have to turn down the details a little bit...
