I was looking at something like the following:

But any advice would be more than welcome.

You realize your current gpu is a Nvidia geforce GT 730 ???
There shouldnt be any bottlenecking with your cpu

The cheapest graphics card that is worth upgrading to would be the gtx 750 ti, which costs £90-£100
