Upgrading my PC!

[Crasher]

Hey folks! Here the PC I build about 3 years ago.
I'm a hardcore Battlefield 3 players and I will be there for Battlefield 4 in q4 of 2013.

Here are the specs of my Pc;
Intel Core i7-960 3.2 GHz
ASUS P6X58D SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0
CORSAIR Cooling Hydro Series H50
CORSAIR XMS3 12GB DDR3 1600
Intel X25-M Mainstream SSD 80GB SATA II
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5970 2GB GDDR5
Antec TPQ-850 850W
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

Right now, I'm running Battlefield 3 on medium setting and it run between 25 to 45 FPS.
I have a 600$ budget to improve my PC.
What are your suggestion?
Does it worth to put money on this PC?
Should I wait till the end of summer before improving it?

You seem to have a pretty good setup as it is, but what you should think of imprroving first is the graphics card, then RAM for performence. And would also say, yes, wait until summer. Stuff gets cheaper with time and you might get a bigger budget c:

I am not quite sure why you are running at such a low fps. A 5970 and i7 960 should be able to run bf3 faster than that. And it looks like you only have a single 1080p monitor. Is your graphics driver up to date?

Ok so according to systemrequirementlab.com, you need at least a 6950 in order to run at recommended speed, so thats where the recommended upgrade would need to be.

I'd suggest going with a nVidia card that supports PhysX, you can get much better FPS and there'll be much more eye-catching things in Battlefield 3. My recommendation would be a GTX 670.

or if you want to go with AMD you can wait for the AMD Radeon HD 8000 series to be released.
