Give me an actual dollar amount.

Unless you can also afford to upgrade your PSU(about $40-50), the only GPU you can get is a Nvidia GTX 750ti ($130), it's about 3x stronger than your current card.

A GTX 750 TI is the best card you can get that is supported by your Power Supply, otherwise you will have to update the PSU too in order to use the newer cards.

Thank you for your input, I was not aware about the Power supply upgrade that is required but if it means having a more enjoyable gaming experience it may just be worth it. Ill take a look at it all

Thank you for your answer, it seems that the PSU will need to be upgraded unless the GTX 750 TI is actually considered a lot better than what I currently have.
