Trying to achieve higher graphic settings while maintaining high FPS in BF4. Any suggestions or changes to this system?

Asrock P67 Extreme 6(missed the free replacement, cant update bios)
Intel i5 2500K 3.3G (OCed to 4.6)(think i can go higher but too hot)
2 x (4Gx2) F3 1066 8G each = 16G
2 x EVGA GTX 570 (1280mb GDDR5) SLI (should I OC?)
Samsung 840 (system and game drive)
Windows 8.1

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Plan on new build in Jan 2015.

Thanks
Brad

Sell sli 570 for a new 770 or maybe 780.
You could also Wait for the new gtx maxwell card
Processor is still great

The 570 sli is around the same performance as a 590.
but without the micro-stuttering and less power.
