Intel Core2 Quad Q9550 (Clock speed at 100%) with NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 (Clock speed at 100%) x1 will produce 100% of bottleneck. Everything over 10% is considered as bottleneck.
It means your graphic card is actually bringing down the performance you see. It's not a good match to go with your Q9550.
A 30w card wouldn't be nearly as bad when it comes to bottleneck:
Intel Core2 Quad Q9550 (Clock speed at 100%) with NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 (Clock speed at 100%) x1 will produce 15.7% of bottleneck. Everything over 10% is considered as bottleneck.
How many watts is your GPU card or what GPU do you have? Once you upgraded CPU's, it's possible your 235w PSU doesn't have enough power for both new CPU and GPU card.
@bradthetechnut ummm im not sure sorry but it is a Nvidia geforce gt710 1gb low profile card so i wouldn't have thought it would be that much of a leach on i

Nothing to be sorry about.
You're actually better off without the GT 710:
Graphic card is too weak for this processor.

Optiplex 780 + GT 1030 + YouTube
The GT 1030 GDDR5 is the best low watt card I could find to go with both your CPU and your PSU.
If somebody finds something even closer (low watt and less bottleneck) that's fine too.
