The 1050 Ti fits your budget and has about the same power requirement as the 750. No power supply change needed.

thank you! would you say it's worth upgrading to tho? will it let me run newer games without a problem on medium settings? could I get one similar for 100 pound or under?

Personally, ive always went with older, more powerful cards than just new ones... I would look into some of the prices for the higher end GTX 700"s

Only issue is, maybe a new PSU if yours is under 600W (Possibly 550W but cutting it close)

There are cards for that price, but you asked for 150. As you pay more, you get more performance, so you're not going to get a cheaper card that performs better.

Some benchmarks:

my psu is 500, I'll prob look at buying the GTX 1050 as I'm looking for more dedicated ram so I can play GTA 5 without a problem. My dedicated RAM at the moment is 4056MB or something and the GTX 1050 has 2GB i believe

looks like I'm going to get the GTX 1050 thanks man, a little cautious about fitting it tho as I have NO IDEA how easy it is to do it. My PC was built for me
