Don't have one just looking for ideas 

if you dont have much to spend a used rx580 or 570 would be the best way to go. you can get them used for around 100 and new for 150. The best for you is probably a 1660 super if your willing to spend 220 but i think a rx580 should be fine.

while your at it with that pc i would suggest upgrading the ram. i would suggest getting a new kit of 16gb 3000 speed- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Crucial-Ballistix-BL2K8G30C15U4B-Desktop-Gaming/dp/B083TSFGBP/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=ddr4+ram+16gb+3000mhz&qid=1591698415&sr=8-3 or this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01EI5ZRQY/ref=dp_cerb_1

Maybe 1060 or Radeon R9 Fury

 

Trying not to make too much of bottleneck out of Intel Core i5 7400 with these suggestions.

 

The questions are:

Do the motherboard support these?
Do these cards fit in the case?

I wouldnt dare to even try with that power supply if anything else is not preventing this upgrade.
It has 180W psu. I would be very worried.

OP should be good with the 7400. he cant go for anything that good but he still has some moving room.

Its good to compare performance and prices. My suggestions are not the best in those terms.

And things vary by country.

To find decent power supply you have to take measures of the original psu to fit it.
I would get atleast 500w known brand psu. Cheap psu is tempting but avoid that.
