Looking to Upgrade Graphics Card

Hi guys
My graphics card is becoming abit ~ Lovely ~ now it still plays all the latest games but i have to run Black Ops 2 in Medium settings to play it comfortably.
Im looking for a decent card which will speed things up and would be compatible with my pc and obviously fit properly in my computer case.
My current Specs are
AMD Bulldozer Quad Core 3.8ghz – (Is this still good enough for a year or two or is it worth an upgrade ?)
AMD Radeon 6570 HD Sapphire 1GB – Definatly want to get a new card
8GB DDR3 RAM – Is it worth putting anymore inside ? or is 8gb enough
Only issue i have is i do not have a clue what model and make my mother board is, is there any programs out there which will tell me this
I can post full system specs if needed but need a program which will give me this information
Thanks for your time

evga is a good brand. So is asus. I don’t know much about pny. They probably make workstation cards. So they should be good too.
