Current setup is a test build for Hackintosh that worked out very well.

Am still a chao recruit and only light gaming (dota2, BF4) in the weekends.

Should i upgrade my CPU, GPU and buy a SSD?

CPU: Intel i3-3220
HDD: 1TB WD Black
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB
GPU: Palit GTX 650TI 2GB
PSU: FSP Hexa 500w

I've got no problems with performance in the mac side (music production, casual usage). Maybe my required files and apps could load a lot faster with the SSD.

Windows performance is also ok except I would prefer to have slightly smoother performance in BF4. Dota 2 is fine. Is my CPU being the bottle neck?

Does monitor matter also? I'm using some stock Acer 1600x900 display only.

Your GPU is KNS causing your bottleneck.
Go spend SGD300 on a better GPU and you are all set.
