You'll want at least an Intel I5-2500k overlocked to at least 4-4.5Ghz. This will push the GPU to it's maximum performance. Post your full specs and then we can advise you on what to keep or throw out.

Right, you need to state all your stuff and your budget. 4-4,5 Ghz is a bit too high, but for sure appreciated
CPU isn't a big problem, if it runs slower. Some guys really overestimate the influence of the cpu. Bit a 2500k is a good upgrade so far. You can do a lot with it, but you don't need to put 4,5ghz on it. The good point is: You can do it!
First you should state your whole system (cpu, gpu, mainboard, ram and your hdd specs). These are the main components to influence the performance. And you can configure best, if you know the budget. It doesn't help you a lot to speak about only 1 component!
