Hi, i need to update my old GTX 760ti in my Alienware X51 R2 (PSU 330W), whats the best current graphics card that fits ?

Specs: Alienware X51 R2-8536 (Intel Core i7-4790, 8GB, Nvidia GTX760Ti 2GB

I'm shocked that that GPU works with a 330 Watt PSU at all. You'll probably want to upgrade that if you want to get a more powerful GPU.
Once you have that taken care of you can get a GTX 1070 reference (founders edition) card. This style has the blower fan so your case won't get to hot inside. The card actually has a lower TDP than your current one as well.
