Hey guys Looking for a little advice..

System Specs:
AMD Phenom II X4 965 quad core processor 3.4ghz overclocked to 3.8
Gigabyte GA-770T-USB3 mobo
ATI Radeon HD 5750 graphics card overclocked a bit
8gb DDR3 ram
550 watt power suppy

I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card and have about $150. to spend.. I can proobably go as high as $200.

The system runs Skyrim surprisingly well on ultra settings but can get a little choppy in some areas. Biohazard 6 Benchmark score was 5606 A on max settings at 720p.

Thanks in advance :)

Yes, either one would be a huge improvement over your 5750

Thanks for the reply.. is my system capable of getting the most out of those cards and would they offer a significant performance increase over the 5750? Thanks again!

Change your PSU before you buy a new GPU. That's not a trusted brand, get Corsair, SeaSonic, Cooler Master.

That HD5750 isn't THAT bad a card: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/gaming-graphics-card-review,review-32850-7.html
If you can't get to the $200 budget right now, wait a while, the current setup is still a capable gaming rig and it'll be a pity to spoil the upgrade by cutting heavily into the GPU side.
Good and within budget: HD7790 $120 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125455
And an Nvidia equal: GTX650Ti $129 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500286
Cheapest decent PSU that will drive them: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438012

Here's a pretty good combo for under 200 bucks(after rebates, that is). Here is the psu listed above(was viewing for a while, but coozie beat me to post) :

Now for a gpu to go along with that, here's a hd7870. Here is that link(also at newegg) :
