Graphics Card for AMD A10-7850k

[ChickenGaming]

Hello, 1 year ago i build a pc, using a APU: the AMD A10-7850k, without a discrete graphics card, only using the intergrated graphics of the APU

my question is, what would be a good graphics card to pair with my APU?
For around 150 dollars.

Thanks!

We need to know your PSU to begin with. Also usually if you are buying APU you use the integrated but guess you've decided to get a new one so tell us your full spec, motherboard, case, psu (to know if it can fit, if the psu can handle it, etc).

GTX 950 would be the best in that budget.

This one is $140

This one is $145 after rebate with a much better cooler(worth the extra $5)

Your CPU is strong, gtx 950 is best you can get for your money, though I'd suggest going for an r9 380 with this psu and all, it will provide far better performance.

The R9 380 needs 2x6 pins, which my power supply only has one of...

It has two. I checked the website and your v2 PSU has two. I mean doubt they made a mistake?

It means 1x cable carrying a pair of 6+2 connectors - it has the right connections for a 380
However its a mediocre quality psu & in all honesty I wouldnt personally be that happy running a 380 on it.
Id stick with Robcrezz original suggestion of a gtx 950 ,the 960 & r9 380 are out of budget anyway - sub $150 the 950 has no equal on the performance front

Connector: PCI-e 6+2 Pin x 2, I am not blind please, I'm getting worried

the overview page shows 1 x 6+2 (meaning actual phyical cables)

the specs page does infact show 2 x 6+2 pin connectors - so no mate youre not losing your marbles ;-)
