I am thinking of upgrading but I am not really sure what to get, or even if it is worth upgrading Preferred store/dealer is [url=http://www.memoryexpress.com/]MemoryExpress[/url] but I can go with [url=http://www.newegg.ca/]Newegg[/url] as well. Current specs [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/kfChT.png[/IMG] Case in an Antec 300 Power Supply: SeaSonic M12II Bronze 620W ATX12V V2.3
Memory Express Price matches everything, you probably know that though That card is still good so I would leave that last in terms of upgrading. Im going to guess your gaming so I would upgrade to an 3570 or a 3570k if you plan to OC it, if you do get a CPU cooler like the Hyper 212 EVO or something. Go for a Gigabyte ATX mobo something like a UD3H or UD3 or any one within that range just depends on what features you want and don't want. 4gigs of Ram is good for most new games but you might want 8, Rams cheap so go for it if you like. If you really want to get a new card go for a GTX670 or 660ti,

What about the 500r
Ok, that looks good So far: GPU: MSI Twin Frozr GTX 660Ti 3 GB CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K MOBO: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 Dual Channel Do I need a new power supply or would my current 620W still work with the new parts?

The PSU itself should do fine, I just wonder if you have the 6pin (or 4 pin, not sure). I had to buy a new PSU because of that, but that was my motherboard and the PSU was like 5 years old.
Any other opinions or advice before I order?
