Upgrading my GPU only - worth it?

Hello!

I'm having a sweet job over summer and thinking about spending about $300 on a new graphics card.

My current computer is

P5B Deluxe
Q6600 at 3 GHz
4 GB RAM
620 W Corsair PSU
GTX 275

I'm thinking about 560 Ti, or perhaps HD7870/7850.

Will it make a difference worth spending the money on, or will the GPU be severely bottlenecked by another component? The idea is to play new titles like Mass Effect 3 at highest detail and both AA and AF enabled at my monitor's 1280/1024 native resolution, with a minimum of 60 fps. Always.

Thank you so very much for your input!
