Do I need a New GPU?

[nodoubtfan]

I've been having some randomly freezing issues with my computer when I play GTA V pc. I've sent in a ticket to R* support and they are telling me that I am "receiving core Windows Operating System .dll file crashes". But I was wondering if it could just be my graphics card. I am currently using a Geforce GT 730. I would like upgrade it, but am a little confused when I got to this site: http://www.pc-specs.com/mobo/MSI/MSI_760GMA-P34_%28FX%29/2225/Compatible_GPUs

I'm not sure which one of those cards is the best for my CPU (AMD FX 4300 Quad Core Processor 3.8 ghz) and PSU. I would love to be able to get a GPU and not have to upgrade anything else like my CPU or PSU. ANy help would be appreciated.

Oh and I am going to see if the new patch coming for GTA V pc (July 8th) and the new Windows 10 (July 29th) will solve my problems first before I buy anything.

you have to open your pc and read the size and model of the power supply. any of the newer pci cards will fit on your mb the issue is the size and made of the power supply. if it a small 300w unit your going to have to replace it.
on the lock up of the system. start with making a boot usb stick of memtest86 or make a hirem boot usb stick and run memtest from hirem boot cd. make sure there no memory errors. also if you have 4g of ram most gaming pc have 8g to keep the pc from running out of ram and locking up in games. if it not a ram issue then you have to look at heat issue. run 3 party program like msi afterburner watch your cpu and gpu temps. if the gpu gets hot real fast chenage the fan profile to ramp the fan up to keep the gpu cool and turn down the eye candy..the 730 gpu not realy a gaming gpu. if the cpu is getting hot check that the fan speed is ramping up..if not look for a better cpu cooler.

upgrade to a 950ti when it comes out. or if it comes out. Should be a good upgrade and you shouldnt have to upgrade anything since it will not suck too much power
