You have a very strong system, but the weakest point is the CPU. A SSD gives NO increase in game performance, it only effects level loading time.

It is by all means a capable processor, but they are technically only 3 cores, of 2 modules each. Very lacking in single-threaded performance which is extremely important for every game.

You should try buying a Hyper 212 EVO cooler (cheap and very effective) and overclock that processor as high as you can. Or you can go the much more expensive route and upgrade the processor entirely.
