1. As Gman450 said HD 6670 / 5670 looks like a safe investment.

2. Also there is a question of how old is your PSU, so its efficiency is no longer as it was at first use (aging capacitors for one, temperature killing them for two, etc.).
Also speaking of PSU, if you get good one (brand and power) now, it will be future proof investment for next rigs.

3. What is your actual graphics card and native resolution of your monitor?
As you stated "you want HD gaming". You don't have to have best graphics if you use lower resolutions.

There are ppl who run their machines with Core 2 quads and HD 6850's on 400W psu's. And their rigs works flawlessly if not too much overclocked :lol:. 400W-450W of higher class Corsair, Enermax, Antec, Cooler Master, Seasonic should stick for your HD 5770 and for future improvements.
For some calculation what you need:

Besides it remember of your case proper ventilation.
