I have a GTX 970 and it performed exactly the same on my PCIE-2.0x16 H81 board as it does on my PCIE-3.0x16 Z97 one. When I say exactly I don't mean "derp I can't anecdotally tell the difference playing Fallout", I mean Firestrike couldn't tell the difference. Unigine Valley couldn't tell the difference. Unigine Heaven couldn't tell the difference. The scores were the same.

You might look at the GTX 1050 Ti and see if you can squeeze that into your budget. If not the RX 460 is pretty good for the money.
