If you have the standard PSU look into GTX750 or GTX750Ti.

It really depends what you mean by "too much". I would say at least waste 150 usd to avoid playing games on the low preset and would recommend r7 265 at least.

If you're at 1080p I would recommend going lower than a gtx 760, although you will surely have to upgrade the power supply as well.

That should come with a decent 460W Power supply, but check it to be sure that it is indeed 460W. As for not paying too much that depends on your budget. You should get at least a Radeon 260X, but if you can spend a bit more money a GTX 660 is a good buy at the moment.

If i want to run watch dogs on my computer, does the 750 ti will deliver it ? or should i put a little more money and get the gtx 660 (that comes with a free copy of watch dogs) but will the 660 be good for games that are coming in the next few years ?

If you have the 460 watt PSU the GTX660 is the best choice, it handles most games well at 1080P.

And with the rest of the build, it will run watch dogs correctly ?
