Hello, I am looking to upgrade my computer. My upgrade budget is £60-75 ($94-$118), all parts I hope to buy off amazon uk. I intend to use the pc for current / older games only, such as Cod4, Codwaw, skyrim, fallout3/nv, minecraft, gta 5 (hopefully). Gta 5 is the main reason why I want to upgrade as I am unsure that my current computer can run it.

I game at 1366x768 resolution and do not plan on changing to 1080p. I am more than happy to turn graphics down to get a playable experience. My current specs can play the games I listed "good", but I was hoping to make my gaming experience better with an upgrade. I want to place the order by the weekend.

My current specs:
Processor: Amd Athlon II x2 270 3.4Ghz (OC to: 3.98 Ghz - 55c max temp at load)
Motherboard: Asrock N68 FS3 FX
Ram: 2x2GB DDR3 1248 Mhz (7-7-7-24)
GPU: Radeon HD 6670 1GB GDDR5 (OC to: 900 core / 1100 memory - 61c max temp at load)
Main disk: Sandisk SDSSDP 64GB SSD
PSU: 500W OCZ Stealthxstream 2 (+12v1 18A +12v2 18A)
OS: Windows 7 64 Bit

Current benchmarks

I was thinking of upgrading my graphics card to a HD 7750 but I am really unsure on what to do. If I missed anything out please tell me!
Thanks very much!

Thanks guys. Looks like I will be buying the HD 7770.

A few questions:
Will my cpu bottleneck the 7770?
Will my motherboard accept it? Because my mb is only pcie 1.1?
Is my psu good enough?
 
Will my cpu bottleneck the 7770? NO, athlon II is good enough for 7770 (i 'd say that 7770 is the upper limit of its performance)
Will my motherboard accept it? Because my mb is only pcie 1.1? no problem
Is my psu good enough? 500W from OCZ is good enough, and provides you 6-pin connector to 7770
