cyberpower pc gua3000b upgrades

I just got a cyberpower pc gua 3000b gaming pc. What upgrades are compatible with the current motherboard, that will improve the performance?

Can't find much but looks like you a AMD FX4300 quad core cpu with 8 gb ram and have a PCIe slot with a GeForce GT 720 gpu with 1 gb ddr3 vram.

Just about any graphics card would be an upgrade to this.

What PSU output power do you have, 350w?

If you can see inside the case, please verify the existence of a PCIe slot with clearance for a full sized card. There should be gt720 card in the slot now.

Depending on your PSU power rating and possible lack of a dedicated 6 pin gpu power connector your choices may be limited. You may be looking at a gtx 750ti or a non-overclocked rx460. Either of these would be a great improvement from what you have now.

Yes it is a turbo link 350 watts. Pretty much a garbage power supply according to the YouTube videos. I would like to change it out to a corsair cx 750. Is that too much power?

That's a much better psu. Did you check the PCIe slot?
