I take it your keeping your case and case cooling the same.

I would look for system upgrade bundles for about £350 -£400. There are some great OC bundles here.

The Intel extreme masters z77 bundles is very nice, but it does reduce the cash you have for the gpu.

Be sure your case will accomodate the cooler though.

The remaining £250 (ish) spend on the best single GPU deal you can get.
Your PSU and HDD should be fine.
You can add an SSD later for a faster boot drive.
