AMD A8-6500 best GPU?

[nvidiamasterrace]

So, I have an AMD A8-6500 (Asus Essentio M11BB) from a pre-built computer, and I'm thinking about getting a graphics card, which is the absolute best graphics card I can get without bottlenecking the cpu? Thanks in advance!

Depends on the game really. You could plug in an R9 290X or a GTX 970.

A mid-range card like a R9-270X is good, just make sure the power supply can run it.

I just checked that PC's spec on ASUS' website, and it says the highest wattage PSU they use in that PC is 350W.

Something like a R9 270X is only gonna run on a decent 500W supply (with 28A on the 12V rail), so I'd definitely recommend upgrading the PSU first, before making any changes to your system.

😀

P.S: The actual CPU part of the A8 APU performs similarly to the Athlon 860K. @jerdle No offence, but you must be stupid to use anything over an R9 280X or GTX 960 with that A8.

I've checked multiple websites and suggestions, and I've decided to go with the GTX 750 TI, as I really don't need to change anything else, Thanks tho.
