I'm sure your GPU is your bottleneck for this system, so get a new GPU. Definitely not a high-end video card where the cpu will bottleneck, maybe something mid level, saw a few other older posts on here saying a 4870/4890 was a good match. Something similar for this generation of cards could be something similar to the ~HD7770 or you can step it up a bit and go with HD7850. Keep in mind that if you get a higher powered GPU, you may also need to get a new power supply that can support it.
