It would be a pretty significant upgrade, but if it's worth it to you or not can only be determined by you :)

If your current card doesn't do what you want it to, then it's time to upgrade. However, I don't think a 750ti would be the best choice. Perhaps a gtx 950 or 960.

Can you check the PSU specs, it should be listed on the side of the unit. Specificaly, see if there is a spare 6pin pcie connector and check the amp rating on the 12V rail. If the psu is capable, a 950 is the same price as a 750 ti and much better.

Its currently on the H55 chipset, and I cant find any motherboards for LGA 1156 with the P55 (overclocking) chipset.

You can overclock on a H55 motherboard, just not as well.

OP mentioned its a prebuilt, so its safe to assume that the mobo has an oem bios that locks out most functionality. Although it never hurts to check

its should be good enough that it wont bottleneck a 950 or 960. processers havent improved that much over the years

get a used r9 270 from ebay for 70$ like i did(it was an auction normally 120$) it will perform better than a 750ti

that could work, though i doubt a prebuilt PSU can handle a tdp of 150W, and thats if it even has a 6pin connector.

I just remembered, asus released a 950 that doesnt need a 6pin connector and has a tdp of 75W. that measn that no matter what, you can at least run a 950

I usually play Gta 5 @720p right now, if I upgrade would I be able to play at 1080p at stable fps?

very well. i can play gta5 1080p with lowest settings except very high textures and x4 anisotropic filtering at around 45 fps. mind you, i have a gtx 745 and the 950 is ~1.5X better
