Hi Peeps.

Im running an i5 2500k @ 4.5 ghz.
crossfire HD 5770
8gig 1600mhz
60gig SSD.

I currently get about 250-300 fps in CSGO, and would like to get 300+ fps constant.
what part would I need to upgrade to get this ?

vide card? cpu ?
 
Definitely the SSD, you'll need at least 70GB to hit 300fps. ;)

What settings, resolution are you using?

I would also say GPU, I'm sure a single solid card would do you better than 2 older 5770's, especially if you're concerned about solid fps with the extreme dips that CF can cause, combined with the natural game fps dives that can happen as well, I'd get rid of a dual-card setup if you are concerned with higher sustained fps.
 
The card is limiting but I wouldn't really call it limiting? Not being critical but I'm wondering what you would need 300+ fps for, I'm not aware of anything that can display even close to that unless there's a super CRT I don't know about..
 
^^^CS GO is very horribly, sloppily coded, even with sustained 200-300fps, it can easily dive into the near teens at times.
 
Everything. You need at least 16GB DDR 2400 RAM to do predictive frame rendering allowing for over 300. A 4960x is need to then pre-process this frames and load the next textures. A PCIe 256GB SSD is 10x better than what you have now allowing for 10x the performance boost loading all this data.

Crossfire 5770? Srsly? Joke. Why do you not have a GTX 780 Ti or two?
