    I think there is no upgrades for your system, is already maxed out. Try overclocking both, CPU and GPU.

    running very similar system.....I'm OCing my 280's to 675 core, 1678 shader, 975 memory and it's quite stable. i also push the 9300 to 13X multipier using Throttlestop. Be very careful of temps when OCing! If your cooling system isn't clean you can brick the chips!!! :(

    Yea your system is maxxed. Use throttle stop to up your cpu voltage. I know scook9 overclocked a Qx9300 to 4.333Ghz. Not stable but still impressive. OC the gpu's as well.
