Do i really need to upgrade?

Hi guys, just wondering if I really need to upgrade anything, or will this last me for a fair while? I mostly play games and will be playing the new bf3, mw3 etc...

Also note I have a rubbish 1440x900 monitor.

AMD Phenom II 955be @3.8

Gigabyte 785gt mobo

Corsair xms3 4gb

GTX570

Am I bottlenecking anything? What would you upgrade? I may have around £500.

Cheers.

Get yourself a bigger monitor then or perhaps an SSD

I was thinking maybe get the cpu/mobo/ram first to get better performance?

Would my Phenom be holding my 570 back?

Any ideas? Might have to make the decision by tomorrow.

Ok thanks guys, I'll get a nice monitor and an SSD then and save up for the guts later on.

Cheers.

Is an SSD going to improve BF3 performance - I was under the impression the game will simply load a lot quicker ...

That's what I was just thinking??
