    GPU, but you can't do anything about that.

    how big of a problem is that... I guess overclocking would help a little bit right?....I mean its just for my information.... I really dont plan on OC for I dont want to shorten the life of my laptop by exposing it to high temperatures....

    It's not a major bottleneck and should perform very well.

    There really isn't any bottlenecks for your CPU unless you want to play games like Assasins Creed with all settings maxed out. Your won't get great framerates because of your Graphics Card, not your processor or anything else. It wont hinder you from playing all latest gen games at medium settings though. OCing the 8600 will cause an increase in temperature and you can't just upgrade the graphics since its soddered onto the motherboard. Its not that big of a deal.
