Hello,

I'm looking to do some serious gaming in my PC besides LoL and WoW (i.e. more graphic intensive games than these). I don't have a lot of trouble running current games, but they leave a lot to be desired look-wise, and sometimes they start getting "choppy".

I have a $350 $400 budget for immediate upgrades, but I would be very thankful for any suggestions to improve my system in the future.

Here's my build:
MoBo: Asus P7P55 LX
CPU: Intel Core i7 870 @2.93GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6000 series (1GB onboard memory)
PSU: Corsair TX750
8GB RAM

I'm open to any suggestions (CrossFire or SLI too) and if the setup can support dual monitors, better yet.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the replies! The HD 7870 XT / SSD combo looks like an awesome idea. By the way, I just want to play on one of the monitors. Would a processor like the Intel 3570k help me performance wise, or am I better off waiting to upgrade to a Haswell with a new motherboard?
