Wasn't sure where to post this so if it's in the wrong place feel free to move it.

I have a rig that's several years old and I want to start upgrading it a bit more. It started out as a prebuilt ASUS (CG 5290) that I got on clearance for cheap. I changed the case, added fans, added a Antec CPU water cooler, SSD etc.

My question is where is the smartest place to invest money on upgrades.

It has:
9 gigs of RAM
i7 920
GeForce GTX 260
500W PSU

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Definitely the video card and power supply.

Anything you would recommend? Would 700W Be enough? As far as the card goes would I see enough of a performance increase in say a GTX 560 to make it worth the money?

700 watts is plenty as long as it's from a quality power supply.
I would suggest taking a look at the new GTX660 Ti.
