You should be able to snag a 7850 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150641&clickid=3cuVOSRCuS3vyDsT8fTgjQ-1UkT3rJzVI2TGU40&iradid=97618&ircid=2106&irpid=79301&nm_mc=AFC-IR&cm_mmc=AFC-IR-_-na-_-na-_-na If your willing to spend 20 more up front and then get 30 back in a rebate or a 650TI http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H707RES/?tag=pcpapi-20

 

I'm using a 7850 with a moderate overclock right now and it flies but if you don't feel like overclocking or waiting on a rebate the 650Ti should get you where you need to go.

 

Edit: Also your I5 is a dual core with Hyper threading not an actual Quad Core.

System CPU : Ryzen 9 5950 doing whatever PBO lets it. Motherboard : Asus B550 Wifi II RAM 80GB 3600 CL 18 2x 32GB 2x 8GB GPUs Vega 56 & Tesla M40 Corsair 4000D Storage: many and varied small (512GB-1TB) SSD + 5TB WD Green PSU 1000W EVGA GOLD

 

You can trust me, I'm from the Internet.

If you can go up a bit, an R9 270 or GTX660 would be ideal. Otherwise look at the 650Ti 2GB or HD7850 2GB.

Those recommendations look familiar. :D

I just feel the need to mention again that your CPU is not a quad core. so this upgrade might not get you where you want to go.
