Budget?

 

That PSU is really going to limit what you can get, you should have gotten something closer to 600-750W instead, and gotten 1600mhz ram instead of 2400mhz. (The speed doesn't really matter unless running an apu)

Specs: CPU - Intel i7 8700K @ 5GHz | GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Motherboard - ASUS Strix Z370-G WIFI AC | RAM - XPG Gammix DDR4-3000MHz 32GB (2x16GB) | Main Drive - Samsung 850 Evo 500GB M.2 | Other Drives - 7TB/3 Drives | CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i Pro | Case - Fractal Design Define C Mini TG | Power Supply - EVGA G3 850W

looking at your PSU

 

you might get away with a R7 370 if it uses one 6 pin PCI-E power plug

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

below 175$

look for R7 370 which uses single PCI-E power plugs

 

they are more owerful than the 750Ti and closer to GTX950 power for cheaper

If you want to get a better graphics card you're most likely going to need a better psu.

Ebay.... craiglist... may be good choices to find a good gpu with that price range
