Look at his specs man... Pretty darn old for today's standards. Even an HD 5800 would be bottlenecked, but somewhere around there is a sweet spot of some sorts. Don't bother upgrading too much. If I were you I would get a totally new machine when it's time to upgrade, but I would also wait a bit 'till Intel Skylake, and I believe you should since you don't seem too rushed to get a new PC. I'm not the expert in older video cards, but the 5700/5800 series is as far as you could push it in your current setup before anything else being wasted because of bottlenecks. Whatever the NVIDIA equivalent is, could someone point it out too? It's...

What resolution do you play at? 1920x1080? Let's assume it is. What kind of quality are you looking for? Ultra, high, medium? Your setup is quite old, so most, if not all new GPU's will be massively bottlenecked. Your best bet that won't be bottlenecked would be a really low-end video card like the GT's or old ATI 4000 or 5000 series. You can get a cheap GT 610 or HD 5450 but that won't play latest games. At least it'll play something though ;)
