You won't really get much of an upgrade over your current GPU for <£60

If you want to stick to that budget then HD5670 512mb is best option - if you can spend a little more GTX460 768MB ~£110 is much quicker
 
Op if you can spare another £15 then get a HD 4890,its a powerhouse for the price and will be much faster than your current 8800GTS or a 5670.

Only downfall going with the 4890 is its not DX11,But for that kind of budget your not really going to get a decent card that can fully take advantage of DX11 games on highest settings anyway.
But the 4890 is a very good card,I had one before.

Well i always go on the lowest asking BIN price on Ebay currently,so this is the lowest priced one on there atm.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/XFX-GEFORCE-8...raphics_Video_TV_Cards_TW&hash=item2a0f4aae92

So £42,But then you got delivery costs + Ebay seller fee + Paypal fee that will take some off so you would probably end up with around £35 ish...you could always auction the card and "Might" fetch a little bit more but the card is quite old now and not really worth more than that tbh...but £35-40 on top of your £60 budget is a nice bump. :)
