I am looking to upgrade my year old Gaming PC as it is sluggish when playing games like Forza Horizon 3. Seems that a graphics card upgrade is the way to go but unsure which one to go for given a budget of about £120. Also unsure if I can keep the current graphics card when adding a new one. And whether I would also need to look at any other upgrades that would be needed along with the graphics card e.g. RAM.
Did some googling and found this graphics card - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB GDDR5 128 bit Graphics Card (GV-N105TOC-4GD) which seems similar to the pcspecialist upgrade option of the 4GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 1650 HDMI.
This is the spec for my PC.
