A new graphics card perhaps?

Hey folks, here is my current PC setup...

Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H Intel H55 (Socket 1156) DDR3 microATX Motherboard
Intel Core i5 760 2.80GHz (Lynnfield) (Socket LGA1156)
Corsair Dominator 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz
MSI GeForce GTX 460 HAWK "Super-OC" 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Sapphire Pure 625W Modular Power Supply
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2 CPU Cooler
Windows 7 (64bit)
Xtreme gamer XiFi sound card


Now although my system isn't a slow poke by any stretch of the imagination, I have recently been offered some money to purchase SOMETHING for my pc, and I cant help but eye up the possibility of a new graphics card.

This weekend this one has appeared on sale...

Would I see much of a difference in FPS? Would it be a worthwhile upgrade?...

Cheers in advance...

Now I'm thinking about springing for a 660 Ti. Should be able to save about £50 too.

As well as it being poorly priced (for what it is), I wouldn't go for a 660ti over a 7950 as the AMD card is faster overall.

If trying to save some money, you could always go for a 660 (non-ti). It's so very nearly as fast as a the 660ti, and would still be approximately twice as fast as your gtx460.

The 7850 would also be a worth consideration.
