I`ve been giving my system an overhaul the past month or so and i think its the monitors turn.

What i have = Samsung 2032bw (20 inch @ 1680x1050)

Budget of ~£150

I have seen some 23inch 1080p monitors at that price but will i notice a big difference? should this be an essential upgrade?

Cheers for any help guys!

I think so. Your monitor is what you have to look at the whole time, so it should be top-notch.

the difference between 20 and 23 inch is easily noticeable.

I've noticed the difference in resolution going from 1600x900 to 1920x1080

Also, add that 1920x1080 is 16:9 while 1680x1050 is 16:10 and I think it's worth it

It's definitely worth it. Your rig is being wasted on 1680x1050. 1920x1080 is probably the most worthwhile upgrade you could make to your rig right now.
