I've got like £500 to waste and was wondering if there's anything I could buy.

Current Rig:

Antec 300 - gaming case.
Logitech G19 keyboard.
Logitech G5 mouse.
Razer sphex gaming mouse mat.
Intel i5-750 @ 3.0 GHZ
8GB DDR3 ram @ 1600mhz
ATI 5770
750w PSU (not sure on the make, came with the tower)
1TB 7200rpm hdd
21.5" benq lcd monitor @ 1920x1080, 60mhz

So guys, any advice on what to get next?

thanks, daniel.

Will be worth looking at what PSU it is exactly mind you.
 
Will I notice much gaming difference in comparison with the 5770 vs the 6950? would I get much of a FPS increase?

I'll probably have to re-install my OS though as I'd probably use the SSD for my Installation and stuff like that!

thanks.

And I think it's just a standard one, it's pretty crap, nothing special, like a factory psu :s

Just a bit - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/296?vs=293

And if the PSU is pants, then get a good one, never ever skimp on the PSU quality is the motto around here, a few to consider,

I have really been meaning to replace the PSU to be honest, this one seems fine so far, but you never know what may go wrong in the future, I think a new PSU is a must.
