get and HD 5770 and with the rest of money buy a PSU
hd 5770 worth 110$~ , PSU depends on the brand but is 40$~ for the 550W
you cant get high end graphic card , CPU will bottleneck
stick with the HD 5770 or even lower other wise upgrade your cpu as well

your system is too weak to play modern games. better buy a new one.

AMD Phenom 550 (3.1) black edition / Gigabyte GA MA 78 us2h / 2x1 GB DDR2 800 RAM / 500 GB Seagate HDDs / coolermaster 500W PSU / Zotac GTS 450 1 GB DDR5 / 20" LG Monitor

Well, both 5670 or 5750 will be held back by your cpu, if you really can't buy a new pc then at least OC your CPU, seriously, your cpu is the weakest thing inside your case...

Options:
1. Get HD5570 so you won't have to upgrade your PSU + OCing you CPU.
2. Get HD5670 and a better/higher PSU + OCing your CPU.
3. Save money to BUILD a whole new system, because any card higher than HD5570/HD5670 will be hold back by your CPU.

Wait, I'm sorry with all my statement above, you CPU is still fast enough to run those cards without any problem...
Okay, go for it, you can choose HD5570 with your current PSU or HD5670 with higher PSU, your choice... :)

With your current PSU? A little chance...
You won't going anywhere with 250W PSU only, the best bet you can use with that PSU is HD5570. So, do you want to take risk running HD5670 with 250W PSU? If yes, then go ahead, it might suffice, but i will not guarantee it...

Can't you afford a higher/better PSU for just $40-$50?
Higher PSU is good for longer term, you can use it on your next PC...
I'm not sure lower end 6xxx series are more efficient than HD5570, so I think you should get a brand new PSU no matter what.
Your call, i just suggesting what I believe. :)
