All depends really,
If it was me, I would upgrade the motherboard (PSU if needed)
The i3 is good enough i think.

I currently have a Radeon R9 270 and i can run most games perfectly.

Maybe take a look at the GeForce GTX 970
Really good card and costs around 240GBP
It will be able to run most games in High settings.

This will also leave you with a little left over ;)

What is your current PSU (may have to take side panel off and have a look at the sticker on the side)
and Euros, where about in Europe are you so we can use a website/shop in your country.

^Volts are not the same as watts.

OP-Just download Speccy and post a screenshot for us so we can see what parts are best to re-use and what are best to replace. It would be useful if you could tell us the make and model of your PSU as well. Your case will more than likely need replacing since you have a pre-built.
