Graphics card for A6 6400K build

[steelbuster]

Built this last year and would now like to do a bit of gaming. Want to add budget GPU and need suggestions... Simple suggestions please.
My ASUS user guide mentions PCIe 3.0 is supported by FM2+ processors only. Not sure if that includes my A6 6400K?
I have an XFX RADEON HD 5450 but when I tried that last year it didn't seem to improve on the integrated graphics.
Thanks,

ASUS A 58M-A/USB3 AMD FM2+Socket
AMD A6-6400K 3.9Ghz Duel Core, HD8470D. Socket FM2
8GB 1600MHZ
300 watt Power Supply

Hello,
Their are multiple options for your gpu.
However, some gpu can crossfire with your apu.
I think you dindt crossfire the hd 5450 with your apu, but , if you did there is maybe No diverence because it is a very bad gpu. Also you dont have to worry about pci 3.0.
A cheap option right now is a gtx 1050/ti or an rx460. It totally depends on what Games you are playing. If you are on a budget i recommend getting a gtx 1050/ti because these are faster then the amd rx460

best you are going to get is a gtx 1050 ti because of your power supply and cpu

make sure it is a specific model that does NOT need a pcie 6-pin power cable from the power supply

I'ts been a year, but I remember some issue with crossfire set up with this combo?? Anyway, thanks for the info. The 1050ti is the right price range and review looks good. Do you think there is much improvement from the 750ti when installed in my system? Thanks

Good thought, Power is defiantly an concern. Any reason to consider changer CPU for basic beginner gaming? Don't like to spend money but the whole computer and gaming thing is a hobby to get through the Minnesota winter

that cpu is a weak dual core, would help to get a quad core

/shrug it could be enough if all you want to play is indie games

For now thats about it. Think I'll go with the GTX and see where that leads. Thanks
