What type of budget do you have? A GTX 750Ti might be worth looking into if you don't have the money for something more powerful. 

CPU: Intel i7 8700K | CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 | RAM: Kingston HyperX 2x8GB | Motherboard: Asus ROG Z370-E | GPU: MSI GTX 970 | HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB & 2TB | SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB & 970 EVO M.2 500GB | Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv X | PSU: Silverstone Platinum Strider 1100W | Monitor: AOC i2367Fh | Headphones: ATH-M40X | Mic: Antlion ModMic 4 | Keyboard: Corsair K70 RGB w/ MX Browns | Mouse: Logitech G502 HERO

Depending on your CPU, if you have an E5200 or a Q6600 or something, I'd probably just put something like an Nvidia 8800/9800 in it.

 

If you're down and out on money and the rest of your system is staying, you can probably find an 8800GT for very very cheap and that's a massive jump in performance from the GT 430.

 

If you've got the PSU for it then perhaps a 560Ti, while still saving a lot of money, however if you've got enough cash for a 750Ti it's a good buy and uses a lot less power than a 560Ti.

It also depends on your power supply. Could you tell us what you're using? (even if it's just wattage)

I really wish that we'd just make organic hardware already, that grows and adapts to the demands it needs to meet. That way, grannies' computers can be floppy sacks of organicness and the 12 year old Minecrafters will look like the guys that only do bicep curls, and the nerdy programmers will finally have justice, with their body-builder rigs that skipped leg day.

You should keep in mind that I'm 14 and workless

alright in that case a GTX 750 will be a big improvement over what you have and won't break the bank i suppose...
