Hi. There is no 'compatibility ' issue with your cpu, you just buy what you can afford up to your cpu's ability,
and your POWER SUPPLY. Note well.
In this case I would say thats around the gtx 750 ti mark, or a Radeon 7850. Anything up to £130 or so.
Any aftermarket cooler will do,but for your twin core the Arctic Alpine GT. R2 (not the others,the GT)
is suitable at about £9.

A GTX 760 or R9-270X should be good as long as you have a quality PSU rated at least 500w. A GTX 770 is within your budget, but would be bottlenecked by your CPU.
