Graphics Card Advice - upgrade from a 7770?

I've currently got a Dell PC (Vostro 470) which came equipped with a 2gb AMD HD 7770 graphics card.

I did pick up an 3gb XFX 7950 card but unfortunately that was too long to fit in the case - the HDD bays which dont look like they come out got in the way. This was a bit of an impulse buy I might add and given the bad feedback of XFX, it's probably a blessing in disguise. My questions:

1) Should I upgrade to a 7850 or Nvidia equivalent? (hoping that isn't much bigger than my 2gb 7770 which the pictures and measurements would suggest).
2) Or should I stick with the 7770 for now and overclock it.

I'll generally be gaming at 1080p and have an i7 3770 CPU to help push things along.

Budget around the £150 mark but up for discussion.

Advice welcome.
