Decided to take the plunge and do some well needed upgrading to my computer Currently:
AMD fx6100
AMD Radeon HD6870
Corsair VS Series 550w
asus m5a97
8gb corsair vengence
coolermaster v10
Seagate 1TB SSHD
Coolermaster Storm Trooper Case

Got about £500 to play with so im thinking maybe just keep the case, ram, PSU and hard drive.

Is the upgrade mainly targeted at gaming ? or general performance ?
Do you have an ssd drive yet ? because thats a must & they've become very cheap now.
 
Should have paid more attention to the thread title :D
I'd say get a 256GB ssd, that's a definite, you'll love it.
Definitely an upgraded GPU, GTX 970 is a good shout.
As for CPU 8320 is the only one worth looking at really, without changing your whole setup.
You'll want to overclock it a bit but you've got the cooler for that already.

+1. This is what I'd do with your budget.
