Switch out the Hitachi drive for a Western Digital drive, they have a much higher reliability rate than most Hitachi drives do.
Get a GTX 660 since they are fairly cheap still and better than the GTX 560.
No need to overclock it for more speed, the current CPU could easily run a GTX 670 without any bottleneck.
If anything a i5-2500K might be a good switch or to an i5-3570K.
Yeah, but what will that cost me then? Target price is 500 euros or under, won't the alterations stack up at least some 60 euros on the price? Perhaps more.
Keeping the i3, you'd be about $80-$90 over the normal price of the GTX 560 SE:

But performing comparably better on some games:

So yes, around 60 Euros more in total.
You'd be just as well off with either the Intel i3-2100:

Or the i3-3220:

Either way, the Sandy Bridge CPU's do clock higher, if you wish to overclock. Ivy Bridge can sometimes offer the same performance at a lower clock speed. In this case best to save a few euros or go for the i5-3570K/2500 or just an i5 in general. It's really up to how you'd want to fit it in your budget though.
