You sure it's out of warranty? Make sure of that

Right now a R7 370 will give you similar performance. If you want something of an upgrade its best to wait for a 480X which will cost around £170 and will be a massive upgrade.

It would be massively bottlenecked. Best option would be to check that it is out of warranty first. GTX 750ti for £85 new would be a great buy as it only needs PCI-E lane power, if you want one cheaper or similar performance for even less then going second hand wouldn't be a bad bet.

Are you sure the card is dead?
 
Not 100% sure the card is dead, just my computer won't boot with it in, computer just restarts then goes into advanced recovery options. But boots fine without card in.
 
750ti is a very good option, but it is a step down from a 270x and i know this from experience.

what power supply do you have?
