CD-Rom Drive : DTSOFT Virtual CdRom Device

Sapphire 430W psu (a decent one but I'm a tad hesitant, this is mainly whats stopping me upgrading as everything adds up when I include new psu/gfx/chip/mobo/ram)
My question:
I am looking to upgrade to i5 etc soon but will a graphics upgrade from the 4670 to 560ti or there abouts be enough of a difference for me to enjoy Skyrim in the meantime before upgrading in a couple of months? My monitor is 1680x1050.
