Best Graphics Card For the AMD A10-7800

[cerealklr02]

Hey everyone... I am just getting started with trying to upgrade my graphics card and I know absolutely NOTHING about what I am supposed to look for at all. I have an Asus AMD A10-7800. it has 8GB DDR3 memory (and is expandable to 16 gd DDR3 memory) it has 1TB HDD storage and has integrated graphics (I got all of this information from the side sticker and amazon https://www.amazon.com/Asus-Desktop-A10-Microsoft-Windows/dp/B00WPEM2S2). I am a twtich streamer and I was hoping I could upgrade my graphics to play games like Overwatch, The Dark Souls series, Player Unknown Battlegrounds, and possibly Battlefield 4. I was curious what the best graphics card would be for me to get so my computer will run better and possibly run these games. Any help will be greatly appreciated since I am completely new to this (never done anything to a computer before).

Hard to say. That's an older chip, so nothing particularly new.

Maybe something like a 770 would do well for you, but I'm not sure. Hopefully someone else will comment

Yeah its a little bit older system that's kind of what I am afraid of. What do you mean by 770? Sorry, I'm so new to this that I honestly don't know much at all. But even if I can just make it run faster and smoother I am perfectly fine with that. I am hoping with it being a little older I can find part for a little cheaper than the newer stuff. Thank you so much for the fast reply

Sorry, was out at lunch.

By 770, I'm referring to the NVIDIA GTX 770. Disregard that though

AMD's website suggested the Radeon R7 240, and I found a few suggestions saying NVIDIA GTX 750ti. That benches pretty close to the GTX 470, so that's not a bad choice either.

Are you talking about using the small original PSU with that which I think is 230W? Isn't it possible to match a 650W PSU with a Geforce 750ti? Just wondering...

Yeah it is and I did just that. Works great! (The original was 180W) Thanks to everyhone who helped me. The upgrade was flawless. Next is migrating HDD to SSD. A dieferent thread.
