your monitor most likely only shows 60 fps. everything above is just a waste of energy (and money)
enable vsync!
Time waits for no one.

There is no exact limit to what the eye can see. It depends on how sharp the picture is. An old movie at 18-24 fps can look smooth because each image is blurred and smeared (like photos of moving lights in the dark). If the image is crystal clear however the human eye can detect flaws even if you're at 60 fps or higher. The reason its a waste for most people to go over 60 fps is because that is the refresh rate of most monitors.
It depends on the monitors refresh rate but there is no limit on how many frames the eye can view since it does not view based on frames. The reason you cannot see more than 60fps on a 60hz monitor is because the refresh rate is limited to refreshing frames 60 times per second. If you had a 120hz monitor, then the monitor is capable of projecting 120 frames and anything else is unused. Once again though, there is no limit on how many frames the eye can see so some people can indeed notice a difference on 120hz monitors running 120fps.
Remember, the minimal framerate is what matters entirely.

I'm not sure 8GB RAM will benefit you in terms of wow performance. Put the money into a good mobo, a kick-ass CPU heatsink and OC the shit out of that i5 2500k, I guess that's your best bet.
On ultra just questing around with an i5 quad core 2.66ghz 4 gigs ram and a 460 gtx i get 100 fps. In raids i get 50-60. If you cut down water and sunshafts and shadows .... from ultra... down a little, you can get more. My system is from last september. Spent 1k then. Just built a buddies computer for $1k pretty much same everything but a i5 2500k. He gets well over 100 frames almost always.
As it's been said, if you have a regular 60Hz screen and not a 120Hz one anything over 60fps is a complete waste, since your display CANNOT refresh more than 60 times per second.
What really matter is your minimal FPS when you're playing in full stressful conditions, 25m raids with a lot of aoe/visual effects going on. If even in the worst conditions you won't get under 40, you don't need to upgrade your computer, simple as that.
An optimal setup on a 60Hz screen will keep you at 60fps even in the worst case. Personally I run an i5-2500k with 8GB and I kept my old Radeon 4850 - with everything on Ultra and shadow on average quality I never drop below 50. A new GFX with DirectX 11 will let you stay at 60 all the time. Anything more (read: any form of i7) is useless.
