Processor: I5 760 @ 3.2GHz
Motherboard (If needed) Asus P7H55
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 560 ti OC [900MHz]
DDR3: 8GB DDR3 1333Mhz
PSU: XFX 550W Pro [+80]

As i'm thinking about getting a 660 ti or 660 in the summer or so, i'm thinking will it improve my game? Mostly BF3 at Low, with Mesh Quality high, getting about 120-70FPS and while recording with Dxtory, the frames drop to 80-40FPS.
I have a harddrive where i record all of my gameplays, which is a WD 500GB Blue 16GB Cashe, if i remember correctly.
--> What is holding back in my system, is the question.

You might need to upgrade your cpu I mean it's ok but when Haswell comes out it's probably time to upgrade. Now for the next gpu upgrade I would go with the sapphire hd 7950 w/boost for about $270 over the gtx 660 ti. The hd 7950 has better overclocking potential.
