If you turn on anti-aliasing your FPS will go down.

What you should do since you're getting 80FPS (which is plenty for gaming) is start turning up your game's graphic settings. I would even suggest turning everything on high but leaving anti-aliasing off. See if you can maintain 30+FPS, if not then start to turn down some settings here and there to medium.

By the looks of it, your system is capable of running that game with better settings than you currently have at playable FPS.

There would be no sense in upgrading your CPU and keeping that ancient graphics card. The biggest thing holding you back right now is your graphics card.
 
well what if i upgraded to an amd HD 4890 or would i be better off running dual gpu's ion crossfire since #1 my mobo supports dual amd gpu's and #2 since the game also supports sli and crossfire also the reason i wanna turn anti aliasing on is im getting a long of jagged edges on textures in games
 
well right now i get average 90 frames persecond at current settings my only gripe is alot of the images have what looks like jagged lines what settings in my nvidia control panel do i adjust to get rid of the jagged lines or at least make them less noticable
