I'd be looking at upgrading that GPU, you'll see a nice boost in that. Perhaps buying an aftermarket cooler and overclocking your processor too.

As for the power supply, you may need to get something with a bit more guts, any of these for example would suffice.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Cooler Master Silent Pro Modular 600W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £73.99
1 x XFX Pro 650W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £69.98
1 x OCZ ZS Series 650W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £62.99
Total : £219.56 (includes shipping : £10.50).

If you're not upgrading anything else that PSU is more than enough.

Well if it's being doing good for three years, I don't see why it would be a problem!

Seasonic are very good and reliable, are you upgrading any time soon?
