Work from a budget, tell us what you have to spend and we'll give you the best options we can.
Mobo model is most important for this advice.
As per the post above, if you put in something along the lines of a GTX660 or 7950, you may be surprised at the results you get.
A new mobo and CPU may be something you wouldn't feel you needed to do, once you witness the card in your current setup.
Place your full specs here and we'll get your sorted. I'm going to guess that all you'll really need to splash out on is a card and memory - until you find something you can't play. Your bottleneck is not the CPU right now.

I just bought myself a 7950 - had it for a few weeks now and it's a great card! I still only get about 20-30 fps in big team fights in PS2 but that's down to my CPU not the gfx card - I have the graphics settings on full
As for processor - the i5 3570k seems to really be where it's at at the moment. Maybe that'll change with the next batch of Intel chips but in any case it's a great CPU and would keep you going for a few years!

I looked at the dell ultrasharp but eh.
I got this
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-070-BQ
The difference when im playing BF3 is badly noticeable, I find it miles easier to spot and aim. And i'm just playing casually. Its nice and bright and the quality is decent enough for working/watching. Its also got an amazing stand that will flip it vertical. I'm considering a second to replace my suddenly very terrible looking LG but I guess I might wait for a good IPS to appear. A second benq would be nice for the stand though and its miles better than my current terrible second monitor. Then again having a high quality screen as my second monitor and my primary as a gaming monitor would be useful, I just find it awkward when theres a difference between the monitors.

I've sat in front of pretty much every generation of Ultrasharp from the 2407 model on, and they've always had a very decent quality, and I've more than once been very happy about the plentitude of inputs on them.
On the
main
apparent major topic, I'm seeing a full upgrade on the horizon as well. Currently have a HD5870 on an Intel DP43TF, running Hz's old Core2Quad, 6GB RAM, 256GB SSD. If I buy a new graphics card then I'm probably very much limited by the processor, and I doubt only upgrading to an i5 (including matching mobo) would improve things much without a newer GPU. Thoughts?

Think my first post pretty much says it all mate. GTX 460 on a Q6600 @ 3.06Ghz = 15k in Vantage / GTX 460 on a core i7 950 @ 3.60Ghz = 20k in Vantage.
I'd run these tests on my GTX 670 for you, but I'm about to RMA it, heh. Have a poke on the 3D Mark benchmarks viewer, and customise the hardware you're talking about - you'll get average figures of the gains. Doesn't beat a real world test, but it can't hurt to research based on something.
I'd put it this way. If you think your PC is suffering for other operations outside of gaming and you aren't hammering video encoding, the Core i5 3570k is the only processor to consider - along side your graphics card of choice.
If your desktop experience isn't suffering and you don't need to outlay for new kit in the middle, you'll still get good bang for buck on a card upgrade.
And just to play devil's advocate, if money is no issue, still go for the i5 and then perv out on a tasty GFX card.

I'll run a Vantage later on out of mere curiosity.
Judging from the benchmarks publicly available, my GPU
going 5870 -> 7850 wouldn't make much of an impact
. So I'm looking at a 7950 range card. (Equvalent nVidia should be about 680, right?). *starts thinking* Wait, I had them order one (well, a Mac Edition, but still...) at work. That machine has a Xeon E5520 I think. That should come out at about an i7 920. According to AnAndTech that's
about 20fps faster on average than my Q6600
. Errrrr... I think I might hold off on any decisions until I've tried that out then.

Graphics card now in situ but haven't had much time to try it out properly.
Been reading up on the Core i5 3570k. It sounds good.
