I have a i7 930 CPU, Radeon 5770, 10 GB DD3 RAM, 525 Watt PS and am looking at upgrading the GPU. What is the best GPU I could get before the remaining components hold me back? Thanks for any help.

Depends on budget, and what brand/model that power supply is. Most likely, you are going to need PSU and GPU. Max I would probably go is something like this.
