The 750 Ti is a decent choice for virtually any system, but it has been superseded by the 1050. Only get the 750 Ti if it is enough below the GTX 1050 ($109) price point. The 1050 is a decent bit better than the 750 Ti, however it might not matter much if your CPU can't handle it. But a decently priced ($90 or below) 750 Ti is a nice fit for an FM2+ CPU either way.
That's what I really wanted to know, what CPU do you have? Also, what power supply do you have?

Take the side panel off of your case and look at the sticker on the power supply. It should tell you the make/model and wattage. If you can take a picture of the label and post it here. GTX 750 Ti requires at least 300W power supply.
Also, ensure your case will fit the physical dimensions of the GPU you intend to purchase.

Input voltage does not determine output wattage. Read this: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1635212/230-volt-power-equals-watts.html
500W should be plenty for a GTX 750 Ti or GTX 1050.
Again, be sure the GPU will physically fit inside your case by finding the dimensions of the GPU and measuring the inside of your case where it will fit in the PCIE slot.

You don't measure the card, you measure the inside of your case. Did you already purchase the GPU? If we knew what make and model the GPU is we could look up the dimensions for you. Then you can compare the dimensions of the card to the measurements of the inside of your case.
For the BIOS, read and follow a tutorial: http://www.pcworld.com/article/187437/how_to_update_your_bios.html
Then download the latest update from the manufacturer: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4990#bios
*The BIOS update may or may not be necessary. You could wait until you find out if the GPU works or not to do this.

I looked up the dimensions on the manufacturer's website and converted them to cintemeters and inches: https://us.msi.com/Graphics-card/N750-Ti-TF-2GD5OC.html#hero-specification
L 25cm
H 12.8cm
W 3.7cm
or
L 9.842in
H 5.039in
W 1.456in
The length will be compared to the measured length from the inside back of your case to the front; be sure there is at least 25cm/9.842in of empty space, that is 3.7cm/1.456in wide. And the height is the space between the motherboard and the side panel. So be sure there is 12.8cm/5.039in of empty space between the motherboard and the side panel.
Also, the MSI Twin Frozr is a premium card which is more expensive than most. If you are buying used it might be priced okay. But if you are buying new, you might be able to afford a better GPU such as an RX 460 or GTX 1050.
How much are you buying the MSI GTX 750 Ti Twin Frozr for?
*And what are the rest of your system specs, CPU and RAM?
Well I'm Buying it for £99.97 from CurrysPCWorld in england and i measured it and yes it should fit! but im worried about one thing http://prntscr.com/df9xr6 (the red circle) the audio plugs in the back, they wont block the card will they? and i have 4GB of ram upgrading soon to 8GB and the CPU is AMD A4-4000 APU with radeon(tm) HD Graphics 3.00ghz

No the GPU won't hang over that (top) side of the PCIE slot. It only hangs over the bottom side of the slot, so it should fit.
While it might not make much difference unless you upgrade to a better CPU, you could get a GTX 1050 for less than or equal price. It's a better performing card than the 750 Ti.

The A4-4000 is a dual core CPU. You can purchase an Athlon X4 860K for a decent price.

It will help you out a lot with whichever GPU you decide. *Your current CPU will bottleneck in some games.

1 fan on a 750 Ti is plenty to keep it cool. I had a single fan 750 Ti and it never reached 70C, typically runs at below 60C.
Are you not in the UK? Can you not purchase one of the 1050s in the Newegg.UK link I posted? The 750 Ti will be fine for what you need, I just don't like spending the same amount on something that isn't as fast, so if you can't find a 1050 for the same price don't worry about it.

Newegg is one of the best. Also, about the 1 fan vs. 2 fan, get the one you want if they both fit. I think he was saying get the single fan to make sure it fits in your case because they are shorter in length.
*Another thing to consider is that most 2 fan 750 Ti's require a 6-pin PCIE power connector. If your power supply doesn't have a 6-pin PCIE power connector, the GPUs usually come with a dual molex to 6-pin PCIE adapter. It's not recommended to use a GPU that requires a power connector that your power supply doesn't already have, but with a 500W power supply and a 750 Ti/1050 it shouldn't be an issue.
The EVGA GTX 1050 SSC is pretty nice and doesn't require the extra power connector. I prefer EVGA because of great customer service and standard 3 year warranty.
Any one of these would be a great choice: http://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Product/Productcompare.aspx?CompareItemList=48%7C14-487-296%5E14-487-296%2C14-487-297%5E14-487-297%2C14-487-295%5E14-487-295

Macca_ :
This MSI 750TI I may be getting powers from just plugging it in to the graphics card slot, but i think you made me change my mind and i may go for the 1050 
Look at the benchmarks. The 1050 is superior. http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-750-Ti-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1050/2187vs3650

That is something to consider. The 10 series cards no longer support analog display output, so an active digital to analog converter will be required.
This should do. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ugreen-Adapter-Converter-Monitor-Projector/dp/B01AU804HK/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1480882966&sr=8-6&keywords=dvi+to+vga+converter
*The simple cheaper adapters will not work. It has to be an active converter.
