While any GPU will bring your better FPS, you will be severely limited by your CPU. For 125 pounds you can get a RX570 https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/bxM323/sapphire-radeon-rx-570-4gb-pulse-video-card-11266-04-20g Overall you would be better off saving that 125 pounds and putting it towards a completely new system.

Definitely would say it is time for a new system. Is that system a standard sized tower, or a thin mini tower, also the wattage of it's power supply?

An RX570, but you will need a power supply upgrade to properly handle it.

Without a power supply upgrade:

I moderately agree. Better to save a little more and get something like this:

You will get better graphics, a modern platform you can upgrade for years to come:
