Get a cpu cooler and overclock. Much cheaper and way more performance.

Bingo.Unfortunately AMD's Bulldozer processors are relatively weak performers. They're decent overclockers, though.

CPU is the best choice, either replacing or overclocking what you have. Your video card & memory are a good match for even the faster CPUs.

GTX560 Ti is still a top tier GPU - no reason to upgrade that.

Purchase this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106183Then overclock. A little seraching on the internet and you can find the max stable speeds for that processor without needing to bump voltages or memory speeds. My guess is you will be very happy.
