What is the make and model of PSU?

If you have a good power supply the AMD RX570 offers the best performance within your budget.

Here is a 4GB GDDR5 RX570 for 130 pounds.

I would suggest the 4gb or 8GB AMD RX570 linked above. You could go for about 175 pounds for a faster 4gb 580, but the 570 is a better value.

Your PSU should be enough.

Here's the thing....in that price range you could go with a GTX 1050 Ti......but that isn't going to get you that much.

I'd bite the bullet and go for the GTX 1060 6GB.

That way....you are set for gaming at 1080p pretty much.

You will be able to play most everything at 1080p 60 fps on ultra.

GTX 1060 6gb > RX570 > 1050ti

The 1060 3gb and 570 are similar performance. The 1060 6gb is slightly faster. The 1050ti is much worse than either.

With your 750w PSU, you can run any graphics card you might want.

Your GTX660 is about the same performance as a GTX1050.
A RX570 is cheap and reasonable.
I would try to go stronger with a GTX1060 or GTX1660.
You might be disappointed if you do not see big results.

There is an advantage to you to stick with nvidia.
The drivers are compatible. A driver update may not be needed, but is recommended.
A switch to amd will require you to clean out your nvidia stuff and install the whole amd graphics driver environment.

I went from a 1050 to a 480 (simmilar to a 570) and was plenty impressed with the results.
