The core i5 650 is comparable to a low end Core i3 (based on interpolation from Anandtech's Bench), and these are typically decent enough for most games. I believe that a good GPU would be enough to get your frame rates into the 30+ rate with high settings. That said as has been mentioned 3GB of RAM is a bit low.
If all you want is, as you say, to be able to run the latest games with "decent graphics quality with 30-120 fps" (at 1080p, I assume), then you can buy something like a GeForce 660 (or even 650 Ti Boost) or Radeon R9 270, throw in 8GB of RAM, and you will have a gaming rig for a £200 upgrade which will be able to play pretty much all games at very high quality level (though a few might not play at the very highest level).
You can of course go for a higher end card, which will support all games at the highest quality level and be more future proof, but a £200 upgrade should be make your gaming life significantly better.

I have a pretty old PC and need to know weather it's worth getting a new low-medium spec gaming PC or getting a high end graphics card.
My current specs are:
CPU: Intel core I-5 650 @ 3.20 GHz
Ram: 3GB
GPU: GeForce 315
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
I want something that can handle the latest games running at decent graphics quality with 30-120 fps. If you think I should upgrade the card then please give me some suggestions, if you think I should get a new one suggest them too. My budget for the new PC is around £800.
