Just about all monitors out there display 60 frames per second, so any system that can exceed that will, effectively, be restricted by the monitor, no matter haw fast the CPU/graphics card is.
There's no need for a 7950 at that resolution, it's just too fast and upgrading the CPU/MB/RAM is only going to add cost for no benefit-the system will overpower the monitor even more.
What card is already installed? It may already be a close match to the rest of the system.
