Ways to make my computer faster for upcomming titles

[Born_2_Kill_83]

Im thinking of upgrading my GPU to a 6990 but wondering if my cpu will cause a small bottleneck? Perhaps you could tell me.
Im wanting to run Q4 new upcomming titles maxed, all AA/AF up top end etc.

I game at 1920*1200 (dont want to go anyway higher)

Heres what I have:

i7 920@4GHZ
6GB Ram
ATI 5970
Asus P6T
1TB Samsung F3

Perhaps I could also top up my ram to 12GB but I dont want this to hurt my O/C and maybe there isnt any point?
The only other thing is an SSD which Im considering but this wont give me any ingame performance increase?
I was holding out for the new BD and LGA2011 CPU's but I will perhaps do this upgrade when its confirmed they will be fast than my current hardware
Thanks for looking

I just have the feeling my 5970 will struggle to produce a solid constant 60FPS in BF3 etc hence wanting to upgrade the GPU.
Im hitting around 70-100FPS in BC2 ATM

Stop worrying

Just try to remember, it would only take a day or two for a new graphic card to arrive at your door after you place the order

Thats a day or two though, I could be level 20 by that time

Then theres the thought of the new metro in early 2012, now my 5970 definitely struggled on the last one!
