The 1050 looks more power efficient, but based on 2D and 3D scores, you'd be best sticking with what you've got.

Similar but this is much cooler and more energy efficient. The 1050 is slightly higher performing in practice due to support.

Replacing hd4850, should I get this gtx 1050 (£89.99) or rx 460 (£77.99) both available on novatech). Or anything else in this price range, smaller card (height wise) is better for me.

Good review of both here

If you have 4850 then most likely the rest of your system is pretty old by now and both GPUs wouldn't be used to their fullest anyway. If you wanna save a tenner, then go with the 460. However, 1050 is the better option of the two and would serve you better in the long run if you decided to upgrade other system components. It would help if you listed your current specs here to say for sure.
Dell 435 mt i7 920 12gb ram 4850 hd Radeon I upgraded power supply to 650 watt 2 years ago and it does have ssd, it's usable but showing it's age now, I'm hoping the card gives me enough of a boost to get my by for another 18 months
Will the 1050 be worth the upgrade, or should I just leave it

You may be able to upgrade your cpu to a 6 core xeon x5650 for around £20. I've done it on my lga 1366 board, but not all motherboards allow it. It's a significant improvement for very little cost.
