And your budget for the graphics card? There are cards over $500 and lower than $200 it really matter how much you want to spend.

Also what resolution will you be playing at and what games do you want to play at what graphic config?

+FrostinFire Am I correct in assuming that you have a Asus M32BC-B01 ? Regardless, since you only have a 300 watt OEM power supply, you barely have any options. The only option that'll work with that power supply is a GTX 750 Ti. I'm honestly not sure how much more graphically powerful that is than your current R7 240, but a wild guess is 40% - 60% more powerful. Sounds like a lot, but it's not what I would do. FYI, I believe the Intel counterpart to your machine came with a 350 watt PSU.

What I would do:

buy a replacement power supply.
buy a GTX 1060 (releasing soon).
sell R7 240.
toss OEM 300 power supply.

Below are a few videos that you should watch. First one is guy with an upgrade power supply installing a GTX 970. The GTX 1060 is "rumored" to meet or exceed the performance of a GTX 980. The second video simply shows the inside of the Intel variant. If you do indeed opt to upgrade the power supply and graphics card, you'll need to be aware of how much space you have to work with inside the case, as it's dimensions look tight.

specs:
AMD FX-8310

Conclusion: Upgrading to just a 750 Ti, is what I would personally consider to be a waste of time and money. Were it me, I'd go for the GTX 1060. The other competing option is the AMD RX 480; both of which require a power supply upgrade.

 

[Trafalgar747]

Ah, my bad, missed that power supply. Anyways your pc can even handle a GTX 1080 easily. It just comes down to how much you want to spend. But without a doubt, it is essential that your replace your power supply with a high quaility one. What is your budget?

I would get this now, and later on (maybe 1-4) years you can upgrade to a i5 6600k or i7 6700k and get a nice Noctou D15 cooler.

[FrostinFire]

do you think this PSU would do it
Corsair CX500 CP-9020047-EU Alimentatore ATX/EPS Serie CX da 500 Watt, con Certificazione 80 Plus, Bronze
Or this one
https://www.amazon.it/EVGA-100-W1-0500-KR-PSU-500W-Nero/dp/B00H33SFJU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1468300116&sr=8-2&keywords=500+watt+psu

 

[chegalhavara]

I wouldn't recomend a 500W PSU. It will be working a bit too close to the limit. But a 600W would be perhaps enough. Take a look a tomshardware PSU Tier list.

[chegalhavara]

First of all you can forget about the Corsair CX Series.. They are no good.. Again, check the PSU Tier List. but for that price range I would say like a XFX TS 650w. but It's non Modular. take some time to check the list and read some reviews on the models/price range that your interested in.

Already read some reviews about this one

Now were talking! that IS a good choice.

Ok thanks for your help but if i upgrade my PC with that PSU i will be able to upgrade my pc toma gtx 1060 right?

 

[chegalhavara]

Yes. Unless you have an absurd ammount of HDD's or something like that you should be fine.

just a quick question this is the same product right?

[FrostinFire]

but this PSU is compatible with my PC?

 

[rcald2000]

+FrostinFire I'm reasonable sure that an EVGA P2 650/750/850 will fit in your case based on the video I hyperlinked earlier. The guy successfully installed the Zotac GTX 970 along with a ThermalTake Smart M850W PSU, which has dimensions of 3.34"(H) x 6.30"(L) x 5.91" (W). The EVGA P2 650 has two of the same dimensions, with only the length being 0.20" longer for a total of 6.50".

Thoughts: The EVGA P2 line is one of my favorites and I personally own several of the EVGA P2 850 PSUs. They are fantastic: EVGA customer support, manufactured by SuperFlower, tier 1 on Tom's Hardware PSU tier list, 10 year warranty, fully modular and platinum efficiency. With that said, it's expensive IF you only plan to upgrade this particular computer and never see yourself upgrading beyond a GTX 1080. If that fits your scenario then a SeaSonic S12II 520 will handles your needs ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151094&cm_re=SeaSonic_S12II_520-_-17-151-094-_-Product ). However, if you plan on keeping your new power supply beyond the life of this computer, and can see yourself one day upgrading to a GTX 1080 Ti (titanium level successor to the 980 Ti that hasn't been officially announced yet) then the EVGA P2 650 would be a great way to go. I'd even go as far to say that you might consider the P2 850, as it's currently only $10 more on NewEgg, and would give you the future upgrade option of two GTX 1080 Ti's in SLI, if you ever built a new machine; your current one only has a single PCIe x16 slot. For only $10 more, "in for a penny, in for a pound" comes to mind.

Btw, I retract my earlier suggestion that you toss the OEM 300 watt power supply after you swap it out. You might want to hold onto it for the future when you're ready to step-up to a new computer. You'd have the option of transferring the EVGA (or whichever) PSU to a new build and then you could re-install the OEM 300 watt unit and sell the machine to someone on Craigslist or Ebay.

Ohhh thank you im gonna buy the EVGA 850 W and loook for a good graphics card
But do you think the EVGA 850 W will fit on my Pc?
btw thanks for the help

 

[rcald2000]

The EVGA P2 850 has precisely the same dimensions as the P2 650.
