What is the brand and model (not just wattage) of your PSU? A HD7750 is the strongest card you can get that does not require an auxiliary power connection.
In order of performance:
HD6850 >= HD7770 > HD6770 > HD7750 > HD6670. Especially at this performance level, you do not need a card with more than 1GB of GDDR5 VRAM on it; never mind what marketing droids may utter.

A WellyPro :??:  :sarcastic:  but it provides 28A a +12V

i know i should change it but until now it ever worked fine

Hmmm, never heard of them. As long as it isn't outright junk, and is not so badly overrated that it can't provide at least 22A-23A on +12V, it should handle a HD7770 just fine.

I would say get whatever HD6000 series or HD7000 series gets the best benchmarks for the price range.

The HD7000 is newer, but the advantages in a slightly superior architecture may not translate into a better value at that price range.

It's possible that an HD6850 or similar is a better value but I haven't checked prices in UK funds.

At any rate, just compare benchmarks. I'm not sure if OpenCL would benefit him or not, but check those too just in case. My research indicates OpenCL is not yet a big deal. For example Adobe CS6 only had one plugin which supported it but say they will have more for CS7 and CS8 in several years should heavily support it but by then a new computer or card would be used.
