I have about the same performance on my just upgraded computer.
i2500k, gtx570, 80gb SSD for a grand total of $708. Next year after a few months of Ivey Bridge and the new generation GPU's I'll get a whole new setup. I run 1680*1050 so a 580 with 3gb would've been overkill. Even at stockspeeds this gives me between 35 and 45fps in the QMB over London intercept with everything at the highest settings, mirrors off. Everywhere else it's pretty much 50 to 60fps where my vsync limits me. Right now getting the latest and the greatest is not going to give you much more performance over one or two tiers below the best. Once the SLI issues are sorted out and the code has ben optimized it's time to get some serious hardware.
