Need upgrade help from the Pro's

My setup is Gig. GA-MA78GM-US2H w/7750 dual core,ATI 4830,2X2GB 800Mhz. Kingston ram,2 Sta.320 H/D - XP Pro & Win7 64bit.Corsair 550 dual rail PS. My Question is,I'm looking to upgrade,or should I ? and if I do , whats the best Bang for the Buck way to go ? I'm a gamer.......have overclocked , but not the norm.The 7750 has been a good performer,I realize everyone is on the i5 wagon , but I still feel AMD gets the job done. Any advice would be helpful,Thanks all.

(seeing that the 7750 is almost same as Intel's 5200 @ 1st thought might need more powerful processor , or maybe its the Mgz.of the Ram ? or the Sapphire 4830 graphics card....or maybe its just the game! Games are getting more demanding on systems...would upgrade if a benefit , that will carry me , the next few years...300.00 I can work with ,or is it best to build anew down the road.
 
I would say wait for a bit, and build a new one at some later stage; because with that budget you will have to make some compromises; and you may not get the results you are hoping for.
