Upgrade suggestions

Hi all,

First time poster long time lurker

I have a PC with the following specs which I am thinking of upgrading. Can anyone with a decent knowledge suggest where my biggest bang for my bucks would be?

Not being all that knowledgeable its hard for me to see where the bottlenecks may be.

Gigabyte P55-UD5

Intel i5 750 @ 2.67 Ghz

4gb DDR 3 Corsair PC3-10700H (667 Mhz)

Nvidia 580 GTX

Short term I can probably drop £150 or so as I am thinking of a new build next year so am really just looking to give this a little boost for now.

you could get a 660 for about 170 it would give you a buit of a performance gain and then overclock your i5

Best bang for buck would be to get a decent after market cooler and clock the CPU to 4GHz (im assuming its running stock as you listed the stock speed in your spec) will perform as near as makes no difference the same as a brand new i5 3570K (at stock ofc).
