vSync syncs up the vertical and horizontal frequency. It will slow down some frequencies so the other one can catch up lower overall frames. If your monitor can't handle past 60Hz, you will be limited to 60fps.

As someone said above, SSD doesn't improve gaming performance, only speed and loading and what not.

For better CPU performance, either get an aftermarket cooler and overclock or get a new CPU/motherboard.
 


When I had a Galaxy 2GB GTX 660 GC, it managed 65+ fps in Skyrim on ultra at 1080p, with the HD DLC and some HD texture mods, with 4xMSAA and 16xAF.

Your CPU is bottlenecking very badly in Skyrim.

The SSD will shorten load times in Skyrim if you install Skyrim on it, but it will not boost fps, at least not noticeably.
