Your system should be fine. I have a GTX260 in a similiar system, running at 1920x1080, and run almost every game at max settings just fine. Don't bother upgrading yet.

And don't bother upgrading to support DirectX11, especially since DirectX10 isn't even in heavy use yet. Everybody who ran out to buy new hardware a few years ago specifically because of DirectX10 got burned pretty hard, because DirectX10 never picked up a lot of momentum. Only now (3 years later) is it starting to become more prevalent.

I say, don't spend a dime. Your system will run fine for quite some time. When it starts showing its age, do a complete overhaul (CPU, mobo, RAM, video card**). Whatever system you buy will happen to support DirectX11. But I do not recommend that you go out and buy new hardware just for DirectX11.


** - BTW, you can keep your current GTX260 and use it as a PhysX / CUDA co-processor in your next system, so hang on to that card even after you upgrade.
