I have a I7 920 @ 2.67 ghz with 8gigs of ram and a GTX 570, pc has been going a bit slow with new games coming running at highest settings at 1080p resolutions, and was wondering if I needed a new gpu or upgrade the pc all together.

get a good OC on that CPU , 3.6ghz should be easely possible. if you gonna upgrade CPU wait a few months for intel haswell to be out.

videocard wise 570 is pretty decent card... i dont know what your budget is but i suggest at least a 79xx series to make it worth the upgrade. maybe just wait for the 88xx series ( which on paper is faster than 79xx series ) to be out in march/april which will be along side haswell.

long story short , short term solution is OCing that cpu and new generation of hardware that will make a sizeable upgrade while not paying top of the line prices will be out around april.
