Hey guys,
I want to upgrade my computer for better graphics in gaming but i dont know which part i should upgrade.
i'm using 2 monitors:
main: 1920 x 1080p for gaming
secondary: 1680 x 1050 for skype etc.
also got my tv connected for mirroring my main for watching movies.
my rig:
MSI MS-7758
Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (4 CPUs) standard cooler
8gb 1600 RAM
GTX 660 2GB
700 watt power supply
Any advice would be welcome

nice, i think ill go for the gtx 770 since i've allways had nvidia gefrorce productsi would like to first run it on my current psu
how can i know if it doesnt deliver enough power for its full potential?
Your games will crash, your fans will crank to 100% and shut off, and you will get black screens. Those are the top signs. GTX 770 is a great card. Good luck
I would recommend you get something like a Hyper 212 Evo, as you have an unlocked processor, which means that you can overclock. As for the PSU, don't get that PSU, it's not great, you should be fine with your PSU. Even though sharkoon PSUs are usually very bad, this one seems to be quite a bit better: http://www.hardwareheaven.com/2012/04/sharkoon-wpm-600w... . If you are looking for a new PSU, get an XFX 650w PSU for example, you don't need 750W.

intel I5s don't really run hot under load but if you concerned about and don't have 2-3 internal 120mm fans in your case, I'd recommend the Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO. It is less than 40 dollars and is reliable and highly rated cooler for its price.

It is a pretty big heatsink and fan, so make you can fit it inside and have extra ram slots available. For some mobos it covers RAM slots.
As long as the G750M has the PCIE connectors you need, you are good to go. Cooler master makes good PSUs.
