I think that for your price-range (maybe a bit above) the gtx 750ti would work the best. Yes, it may be a bit more expensive than your original card, but buying lower-end cards almost never pays off in the "how much milage will I get out of this view."

EDIT: It should be able to give playable (30-40 fps) on newer titles, while giving (45+ fps) on older titles. For example, the 750ti will actually keep a constant 27-34 fps in Battlefield 4.

With that CPU and monitor resolution a GTX 750 Ti is a waste. They simply can't support a card even that powerful. What is your maximum budget and what country are you in?

I would agree that an upgrade is a good idea, however the 750ti will work just fine with the CPU and monitor. (I used 2 square aspect monitors for a long time, and have worked with this same CPU on one of my light servers. (This combo will work fine.)
