According to Can You Run It, the minimum required Graphics Card for Total War: Three Kingdoms is the Nvidia GTX 650-Ti, and the Recommended Graphics Card is the Nvidia GTX 970:

And here's a website that compares the prices of computer components:

I recommend you get a GTX 1060, about half the price of the 970

250/300, assuming that would get me the upgrade needed?

About £250/300. I don't game much apart from the strategy games

Its a Acer Nitro N50-600.
The operating systems is Windows 10 64-bit,
8GB RAM and the processor is Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8400 CPU @ 2.80GHz.

Budget between £250/300 unless cheaper ones will do the job.

It has been running fine but started to lag recently so I assumed my graphics card was at fault.

That game should run no problem. I dont think an upgrade is whats needed.

What are cpu and gpu temps in games?

 

[reaper12474]

I would say in that price range you have a lot of good options. Not sure about pricing where your at, but that can get you upto a rtx 2060. other good options are gtx 1660 ti all the way down to a rx 580 8gb.
