Probably not. What games will you be playing?

i'll be playing games like metro 2033/last light, battlefield 3/4, skyrim with mods, fallout 3/new vegas with mods games like that. i'm actually saving up for a new computer but for the moment i could do with a cheap graphics card that will do better than my gt 620 and wont bottleneck with my i3 3220 could you suggest a good card either AMD or Nvidia anything under £200 will do

What is your current power supply and your current motherboard? The GTX 750ti is a pretty good card. It is about equal to an HD 7850.

Yea, that power supply will need replaced for sure. You can upgrade the processor to an ivy i5 or i7. Haswell isn't really much faster, so there isn't much benefit going to a whole new system. I couldn't find that model of PC, so I am not sure if this PSU/card will work. If it is not a slim tower, you will be ok.

New motherboard would mean new windows. Also the case is proprietary to that motherboard, so you would need a new case as well. Best bet is to upgrade to a compatible ivy i5 or i7. An i5 3470 would work. Width will not be a problem for my earlier suggestions, but I would double check the length room in your case.
