Don't forget your power supply. You didn't list it and I dunno how to calculate what you need anyway but it's possible you'll need a bigger one, especially with a new video card (GTX 570 says it has a minimum system requirement of 550 watts, though it lists its maximum consumption at 219 watts).
I think the order you listed is basically what you'll be forced to do anyway. You might benefit more from the new video card than the new CPU but the nVidia GTX 570 wants "PCI-E 2.0" and your old motherboard doesn't have that (not sure if that means it won't work or if it will work, just not as fast as it should).
If there's any question of SSD vs video card, get the video card first. That'll be a much larger benefit to gaming, especially MMORPGs where "loading" areas are infrequent.
