you might be able to get a bit of a boost out of it... as you'll have probably a more stable voltage and amperage going to all components.. specially if you get a good high quality one like the OCZ 420/520/600

and a good PSU is worth the investment

not really not unless you current one is lacking now

It will probably be more stable, but if you dont have a lot of random BSOD's etc. it shouldnt really matter that much. However, it most likely will allow for higher, more stable overclocks than your current PSU because of less fluctuations, etc.
