New Machine or Not New Machine :)

Hi everyone,

Current situation
-Game most nights
-HoTs, WoW, CS and Rust mainly
-Settings are never max and normally low on Rust and WoW to get good FPS
-Don't play much else and not that bothered about other games
-I do wish the games I play could be on max settings without FPS drops
-Currently have Intel i5-2500k CPU @ 3.3Ghz, 8GB Ram, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570, Apple Cinema Display Monitor, Gaming peripherals, No Speakers.

Questions:
-do I upgrade?
-do I buy a new setup completely?

If so... I could spend around a £1000 MAX and would like to get some speakers with that too as the Cinema Display sound is terrible for music and games.

Would welcome your help if that's ok

Lovely, thanks for the replies and so quickly.

So upgrading sounds like the best plan, so I am happy with that guys... thanks.

What do I get then? I know very little about gaming rigs and components as you can see... link me the items to buy and i'll probably just go ahead and do it.

Also, what about the monitor and speakers? Any advice on that front?

Again, thanks.

Any technical reason for the 25" or just budget reasons?
