Buy a GTX 650, it is good for your resolution but is a little more than £100. You may find a cheaper one.

GTX 650 will play all games in your Resolution on High in 30+ FPS (Mostly even better).
And if you want performance than lower your Graphic setting and you'll get a guaranteed high FPS range in every game.
