£350 to ugrade with, help.

[Loque]

I will soon have about £350 to spend on upgrading the following. what would you guys recommend?

I need:

Motherboard
Processor
Graphics card
Case

I have 2gig of DDR800 spare, that I can throw in for the time being, so RAM isnt needed. My power supply is a Hiper 580W.

Cheers

+1to the above post, in the future get a proper oc heatsink and overclock the donkeys out of it,

well, like i say, for the processor, im pretty set on the E8400 which i will be getting for £77.
I have a thermalright ultra 120 on its way. As for motherboard and gfx, I was thinking about a xfire motherboard, and a 5770 with the option of xfire in the future. What do you think? The only thing im totally unsure of realy, is the case. I want something pretty cheap, but with good cable management.
