Without knowing if your CPU is the limiting factor in OW (which might be) you could look at something like a RX470/480 or GForce 1050/1060 (NVIDIA seems generally faster in Blizzard games).

I'll check CPU performance to see if upgrading the cpu is worth it.

I guess you can get the R9 380 or the 1050 ti whatever is cheaper.
You should get some performance increase but your processor will hold you back regardless of your choice.

welcome to the forums!
I would grab a gtx1050 non ti. Save some money.
a gtx950 is about as fast as a regular gtx1050.

your 550ti card is only about half as fast as a gtx950/1050.
Your cpu will.hold back anything faster.

You will see very good gains from such a upgrade.
get a gtx1050.

with that CPU, why not get a 280X if you are just playing OW?

Granted, I'm not sure if this will VRAM limit you as I don't really play Blizzard games anymore, but I recall that they are often very well optimized for low-mid range hardware.
