Heres my build went to play dota got a gray screen windows wont start, and in the bios theres 2 giant graphic glitches running down the screen and white letters in have green fuzzy glitches... pretty sure graphics card kicked the bucket its about 4 years old now... I don't have onboard graphics so i cant even get into the pc to delete old driver even if i get new gpu, what can i do? please leave suggestions on what graphics card to get for optimal performance (I do not overclock) and if i can just plug it in and start the computer up.

PLEASE HELP ANY ADVICE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! TY!

He wasn't referring to your post as being off-topic but some of the contents of some of the others.

Summary:
Other person suggested new system with used graphics card
Another said 1050ti and later said 1060 and later still agreed with new system recommendation.

I said:
Replace your graphics card any card from the 1070 on down makes sense. The 1050ti is good, the 1060 6gb is the next logical step (the 3gb card is partially neutered, not just 3gb less) finally the 1070 will run fine in your system.
Any of these will give you a better gaming experience than your old video card. Any of these will occasionally bottleneck on some games, but not all. The common assumption is that you are gaming on a 1080p 60hz screen.
If you buy used...

Which card to get depends on your budget. In my opinion the best bang for the buck is the 1070, but it is also a little expensive for some.
Once you boot with the new graphics card uninstall the old AMD stuff before you install the new drivers.

If possible you might want to check the video card in a friends PC. It is most likely the cause, but it could also be your cable or monitor.

With your current CPU, I wouldn't go any higher than a GTX 1050TI as you CPU is to weak for better GPUs and also your PSU is a low quality one.
But just plugin the new GPU, boot into windows and do a complete removal of your current graphics drivers and then install the new drivers.

okay thanks still not sure what i should get really, i want to at least replace the card with an upgrade and im also not against having 2 graphics cards bridged if i can do that someone once recommended RED DEVIL RX 480 so idk what to do probably making it a bigger decision than it really is but i want to do it right.

With a 400 budget, I would suggest that there are better options that the 1050ti. It is a good card and a good value. But your CPU while your CPU won't be ideal for a high end system, you can keep the GPU if you later upgrade to something more robust. Also not every game will bog on your CPU, only a select few. The 8350 is not a fat CPU, but it is not the worse one out there either.

For under 400 you can find 1070's, 1060 6gb cards as well as 1050ti cards. The question is are you buying this video card to retire with the PC or are you planning to replace it at some point? If you are planning to replace it, how much does the GPU upgrade cost postpone the system upgrade?

Also your PSU is poor quality, but not HORRID.

I want a graphics card that will at least last me 2-4 years and then maybe I'll upgrade or just build a whole new system but I want to be able to play games at good quality, I play shadow of war, pubg, DotA, csgo, the forest, etc. So it's not like I'm playing league of legends where I don't need a good card I also stream from time to time

In that case I would say maybe a GTX 1060 should be fine. But forget about a GTX 1070 as your CPU is not strong enough for that GPU.

OP, I would recommend selling your CPU, motherboard, and RAM to increase the budget for upgrade. Then I suggest a Ryzen 5 1400, A320 board (B350 at your own discretion, but it's more expensive), and 8GB DDR4 RAM. A used GTX 970 is only $160 but performs at a GTX 1060 level, so that is a great deal.

If you buy used (anything) you will get it for less. A 970gtx, for example, is faster than a 1050ti but generally slightly slower than a 1060 6gb card (around 10%).
Your present system is old and would benefit from an upgrade. I think the advice to replace the system is an ok one, although I thought the actual parts suggested would not have been my choice. Maybe see what is available used in graphics cards from a 970 or above? And then start saving for a coffeelake system. You will probably need around 2-300 more than you have now if this is the way you choose to go.

I would do this instead or wait until next year to get I5-8400 with a cheaper B360 motherboard.

I included the z270 because I thought there was room in the budget and the z270 allows a little future proofing and a trivial performance advantage. But there is a flaw in my list which I only now caught. It didn't charge for the ram, and so Kasper's is a better option if you wish to stay under 600 (with the ram added back in, mine came out to ~640).

I don't like his Ryzen build for gaming though. Ryzen is good for a lot of things like video editing,compiling code and such. But is not as fast in games in part due to how their CPUs are more like 2 cpus on 1 die with considerable latency everything there is communication between these halves.

I would try booting into safe mode and deleting the drivers from device manager. On windows 10 hold shift when you click restart or let it boot and hold the power, repeat 3 or 4 times and it should boot into safe mode.
