New SSD, or New Graphics Card?

[AhellHound]

I'm wondering whether I should get a new Graphics card or a new SSD. I don't have an SSD at the moment, so one would be nice. But I would like to play my games at the best settings, and some games, (including a Modded Fallout: New Vegas) is starting to drop from the Ultra settings I enjoyed with earlier titles.

So I here are my System Specs:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Motherboard
Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
Model: GA-990FXA-UD3
Total amount of system memory 16.0 GB RAM

CPU
AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor

RAM
16GB

Graphics Information
Display adapter type NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570
Total available graphics memory 4095 MB
Dedicated graphics memory 1280 MB
Dedicated system memory 0 MB
Shared system memory 2815 MB
Display adapter driver version 9.18.13.1106
Secondary monitor resolution 1680x1050
Primary monitor resolution 1920x1080
DirectX version DirectX 10
-----------------------------------------------------------

I can either get my first SSD, or a new Graphics card. The SSD would most likely be a 128GB Samsung 830 Pro, and the new Graphics card would most likely be the GTX 680 or AMD 7950 (that's for a different post).

If I wait on the SSD, the price per GB will go down, and I may be able to get a 256GB SSD.

If I wait on a graphics card, obviously the price will drop on various cards.

So should I go with my first SSD and wait a bit longer with my GTX 570, or should I buy a better graphics card, and wait on an SSD.

Thanks for the help and replies,
Colby

The GTX 570 isn't a bad card at all. But if it is not up to your standard, then buy a new GPU. Otherwise, buy one later and buy the SSD now. One of the GTX 700 may be a good upgrade but they won't be released for another 1-2 weeks.
