Emm for that kind of res I would say prob CPU & Graphics cards are going to be limiting items.... Could you Clock the CPU any more? Not the best Mobo for clocking though I would not think... prob best replacing the CPU with a Phenom II maybe? Or replacing the motherboard with a Crossfire one and adding another HD4850... might need a better PSU also though

Put the CPU @ 3.2ghz close to 3.25.. it's stable had it at this before.
