I'd go for something like an RX 460 (£100 - £130).

RX 470s start at around £175.

If I was in your position I would probably wait and save an extra £50 and then look out for a good deal around the £200 mark on an rx480 or 1060. Black Friday is coming so no doubt we will see good ~£200 deals on these cards.
470 is pointless at £175 when deals for the 480 and 1060 come up for not much more and anything less than a 470 isn't that great for gaming really.

A 470 is within 10% of a 480, how could that be pointless? I wish people would stop exaggerating every little difference so much.

470 minimum tbh, will last u longer for the little extra 
I cant post links to competitors but for really not much more at all, you can get a 1060 or 480. The 470 should be at the £150 mark for it to be a consideration in my opinion.
I'd highly recommend scrounging up an extra 15 quid (that's a meal out or two, depending on where you go) and going for the amazing offer on today. Red Devil RX 470 for £165.

Yup, below the 470 they start to get a bit crap
There always seems to be a cut off point where spending less actually gets you worse value. As opposed to the norm of spending more getting you worse value.
As said above save that extra £50, the difference between the 470 and everything below is night and day. If you get a lesser card you will be kicking yourself later. There will some one that says 'yeah but an extra £50 on top of that £50 will get you an even better card like the 1060' and that's true. Set your self a strict budget and get the best card you can, 470 and above, anything lower is pointless
I saw some brand new 970's on hotukdeals the other day for about £170 and there's always the popular online auction site too

See what difference GTX1050 series make @ 2PM today. Might panic AMD into dropping a few £ off their cards & the GTX 1050 might also launch @ lower pricing to hurt AMD.
Either way the consumer is going to benefit as the sort of market the GTX1050 is aimed at is extreme volume-casual gamers or people with a strict budget so they will shift millions of units in the next few months!
