Xeon X3470 with a Gigabyte GTX 1080

[Hamwar]

So basically I have a budget system I made with a xeon x3470 @3.7GHZ (i7 870 equiv) and a 660 ti gpu. Recently, I got a gtx 1080 as a gift from an uncle, and was wondering what I can do to try lower the CPU bottleneck or find a way to improve performance. I am getting 100 fps on 1080p on witcher but that's not that amazing.Battlefield 1 has 100 fps on ultra 1080p. And on gta v it really struggles when maxing the game out, going to about 50fps.

Thanks for any ideas.

I guess you could try higher resolutions which should reduce bottlenecks.
