Hi, I recently decided I want upgrade my PC, as I have a bit of money atm, and I'm having trouble deciding what to upgrade first. I wanted to upgrade my graphics card, but I don't know if it would be limited because of the rest of my setup?

SPECS:
Intel core i7 3770
Asus P8B75-M
8gb DDR3 RAM
Kingston 1TB harddrive 800Mhz
Gigabyte Nvidia geforce gtx 660
450w power suply

What's your budget? Also, what about your case?

On upgrading? about £300 + whatever the stuff I replace sells for

My friend is getting a new case and selling me his NZXT phantom 630 cheap (not part of the £300 budget).

I would get a GTX 770 which would also need a stronger PSU. That should just fit your budget.

I was thinking about the gtx 770 earlier,would a 650w PSU be enough? Or do I need a 750w?

Is my motherboard ok for this, its just pretty cheap and I got it a while ago?

A 650 should be enough, but if you plan on future upgrades and want to be safer buy a 750.
