First you need a new PSU. That's a time bomb. Go at least for a Corsair CX-400.
Then I'll go for the HD4770 like you said. The performance difference between it and the 4850 is very low and the the HD4770 consumes less energy and it's more fresh. The HD4770 is a lot better than the 8600GT and you will notice a big difference. Is your CPU overclocked? If it's not you should try it.
