So I'm thinking about doing some huge upgrades soon. More specifically my graphics card which is great but is heavily outdated. Currently this is my setup.

Intel i7 3770K (Not Overclocked)
AsRock Extreme 6 Z77
EVGA 660ti 3GB
Seagate Barracuda HDD 1TB (Windows Installation Drive)
Western Digital Caviar Blue HDD 1TB
Thermaltake 600W Power Supply
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler
2x4GB Kingston Hyper X DDR3 1600 MHz
2x4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 MHz

So I'm definately upgrading the graphics card and possibly the power supply as well. Do you guys have any suggestions for upgrades for a good graphics card? As well as a good power supply?

P.S. I'm not buying a 1080 so please don't suggest that.
P.S.S. I didn't have any intentions of upgrading my chipset and the processor but if you think i should, please leave suggestions below. I'm open for suggestions.

What resolution and Hz? A 1070 is slight overkill for 1080p @ 60Hz but not a bad choice if you have the budget, I'm UK based but think that's out of budget. The 480 looks very good for 1088p 60Hz and is well within budget however NVidia's 1060 is due in the 1-2 weeks and if the claims are true will be more powerful than the 480 and would be well within budget too. I'd wait for the 1060 and then make a decision.

All of these cards would work on a good 500w so as long as yours is decent there may be no rush to change.

No more than $400 on a card, and no price range for a CPU and chipset. No price range for a power supply, but i don't need like a 1000 watt power supply so don't go too crazy on me.

Resolution? I guess at least 60Hz at 1080p since i run a dual monitor setup.
