Yeah, you could use an upgrade. Which one to get depends on your budget, really. If I were to get an upgrade now I'd look into the GTX 760, but it's ~$250.

What is the EE and GS% during the slowdowns, while in native resolution? Also, what are your GSdx plugin settings?

While this system is not superior, it's still decent, roughly at the same bench (FFX-2 PCSX2 bench) as my FX4300 at my current clockspeed. Perhaps there is something we can do for the OP while breaking the bank...yet

Then your cpu was the problem then. It really wasn't necessary to delete the emulator. Your video card was fine. Not great, but ok for the job. If/when you do try pcsx2 again, try the mtvu hack, make sure you are in hardware mode, and experiment with EE timing and VU cycle stealing hack.
Also a good reason why the k version of Intel cpu's are the only ones worth buying. Intel policies of locking all their cpu's except the most expensive one is garbage.
