My question stands is there a limiting factor in my PC and if there is what is it and what would be a good replacement?

Next upgrade I am thinking about getting but am still unsure about is an SSD minimum 128 GB

920 just begs to be overclocked. This was one of the first mainstream cpus to consistently push 4ghz on 4 cores. Going from 2.66>4.0 is a massive jump in cpu power. With that being said I have no idea how oc friendly your Intel board is.
