I would not bother upgrading your CPU etc maybe just upgrade your GPU especially at that res you should take a look at a GTX670/AMD7970 or if cash is a bit tight there is always the 78xx cards.

Hah, I actually got the GPU's when they were first released as the 1gb version sold out before I could pick them up and didnt have the cash on hand at the time to get a 470 or 480.

So far the gtx 460s in SLI out performed my friends single 580. But these new gtx 6xx and radeon 7xxx graphic cards are looking good and shiny
