Maybe 250$, preferably cheaper.

Tough to find a good fit.

Using the userbenchmark site I compared the Rx 560 and too little gain.
The Rx 570 did bump it up but over 300.

So back to the Nvidia 1050 Ti and not much gain. See it yourself at
http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1050-Ti-vs-AMD-RX-460/3649vs3641

Take a look at the 1060. http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1060-3GB-vs-AMD-RX-460/3646vs3641 seems to give a good bump plus you can sell off your 460 later to cut the cost.

Some folk don't like to change houses but you can try other models at the link.
