Yeah, I would highly recommend you try and get a 5850, even if it is past your budget, it is a really good card for the price.

+ what Zairs said about the PSU & motherboard, tell us what they are and we can tell you whether they will support SLI.
 
+1 for the HD 5830 recommendation - it's the best card you can get for ~£90.

If you can push the budget a bit then you can get a much better bang-for-buck graphics card. For example the OCUK GTX 460 1GB for £110 is an excellent deal and the one I would go for in this price range.

The GTS 450 in contrast is not a great card and much less powerful than a GTX 460 1GB. This comparison shows how the two cards compare (the OCUK GTX 460 1GB also seems to come with a decent factory overclock (core clock 725MHz vs 676MHz on the stock card) - so expect the performance gap to be even bigger).

If you can get a HD 5850 for £120 or under then that would also be an excellent deal.


May I ask what make and model number motherboard and PSU you are using?

the boards is
asus p7p55d pro board
i'll have to try and find the psu on one of my other threads, though i do plan to upgrade that in the future so its modular
 
Looking at this review it's a decent supply and has two 6pin PCIE power connections - this means it should run any one of the graphics cards mentioned so far (GTX 460 1GB, HD 5830, HD 5850) without any problems. However, if you want to run two of the cards in SLI/CF then you will obviously need a new PSU.
