I can afford a GTX 970 or GTX 960 or GTX 1050 Ti or GTX 770 which one should I buy as I'm not 100% sure which would be the best for gaming at 1080p on medium settings. I have a Corsair VX 450 watt power supply with 1 8 pin PCIe power adaptor cable and an i5 3470 with a Asus ph681 mini itx mobo and a cooler master lite mastervox which is matx. I'm trying to play 60fps and above and the games I want to play online GTA V Battlefield and fortnite I don't mind to be playing at medium settings. My budget is roughly £120.

Thanks

GTX 770 draws so much power that is not an option.

Here is benchmark for 1050ti vs 960 : https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp%5B%5D=3114&cmp%5B%5D=3595
1050ti and 960 are equal. GTX 1050 has way worse results so dont pick that.

With your psu i would get 1050ti just look at how low amount it draws power (70watts under heavy load), gtx 960 draws 2.5x more under load:

You could even overclock it safely how high you want and it leaves enough watts for your cpu without or with overclock.
