Note: Assuming your monitor's resolution is 1080p. The max graphics card you should purchase for an upgrade is a gtx 1060. Going any higher will be a waste of performance/money due to the limitations of your monitor's resolution and refresh rate.
that's what I was looking into.. do you know which one would be the best? I'm kinda leaning towards this one https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-06G-P4-6163-KR/dp/B01IPVSLTC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1513628702&sr=8-1&keywords=evga%2Bgeforce%2Bgtx%2B1060%2Bsc%2Bgaming&th=1
but i'm willing to pay a bit extra if theres one with a huge difference.
