Search for GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 cards on Kijiji, they’re right in your price range. If going for the 1060, make sure it’s a 6GB card.

And at this age, it might not be the worst idea to unscrew the fan shroud and heat sink from the video card and clean off / re-apply new thermal paste to the GPU die. You can pick up a small tube of thermal paste like CoolerMaster MasterGel or Arctic Silver from MemX. Mine was dried out on my 1080ti when I picked it up and renewing the thermal paste dropped temperatures by about 10-15°C.
