The best one for your budget!
Update: Suggest you to go with either VAPOR-X or TOXIC which are normally FASTER than the stock ones.

If you're willing to purchase used cards, £100 is more than enough. Both the cards recommended are somewhat weak. For £100 I'd purchase either these two, the performance between the two cards are equal so it's your choice between Nvidia or AMD:
The Gigabyte Radeon R9 270X or the Nvidia GeForce GTX 660.
The two cards above IMO are still very high end, and are far superior than those recommended already in this thread. I believe I am able to recommend these cards as I too am from the UK, hence am able to scope out the deal. Again that is if you're willing to purchase used cards.
All the best.

Your APU to be honest will bottleneck most graphics cards. I'd purchase the best GPU you can for your budget and consider upgrading your APU in the future. If you upgrade your APU in the future, don't upgrade to another APU as performance will be just as weak, instead switch to the AMD FX series or go with Intel. I'd go with Intel as switching to FX will require a motherboard switch anyhow, in addition Intel provides better single-core performance.
To conclude yes your APU will bottleneck most graphics cards, but regardless I'd still get the R9 270X or GTX 660. There is no point compromising on the GPU to anything weaker, your APU can always be upgraded.
All the best.

Best solution
I wouldn't bother downgrading your GPU but if you want to save money, why not purchase the HD 7850 for £70? It still beats the performance of the R7 260X, yet cheaper.
Any GPU will do the job, depends on what games you desire to run.
All the best.
