I have AMD Kaveri A8-7650K 3.8GHz Radeon R7 Quad Core APU Processor

I want to add a EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti Superclocked 2Gb PCI-E Graphics Card ( 02G-P4-3753-KR model )

Will there be any compatibility problems will graphics part of the APU affect anything, will it be fine?

The PCI express slots will fit and the 500W power supply should do fine, its just I want to know if it will be fine with compatibility etc.

Here are my specs:

AMD A8-7650K Radeon R7, 10 Compute cores 4C+6G 3.30 GHz

8 GBs of RAM

500 Watt power supply

Windows 10.

If there are any better graphics card than the Gtx 750 ti without a 6-pin connector for under 105 Pounds plesae let me know.

Thanks,
Aaron

Yes, you can use a GTX 750Ti.

What will happen is once you seat the 750Ti and boot up your motherboard should automatically disable the onboard graphics. If it does not you can simply open a new thread here with the specifics on your motherboard and one of us will explain how to disable it manually for you.

Things to note!
You can not use the 2 GPU's at the same time

You will need to remove the video driver for AMD before installing the nVidia one.

500 Watts is enough, however because I do not know anything about your current PSU you may have to purchase a good power supply in the future, and here is why. A poor power supply eventually causes all kinds of problems from program or game crashes to BSOD to destroying components in the computer to catching on fire.

You did not list your power supply manufacturer or model or wattage or amps on the 12 volt rail. Visit http://www.plugloadsolutions.com/80PlusPowerSupplies.aspx to see if it is on the list. Visit www.jonnyguru.com for outstanding power supply reviews.

When I was still able to work I owned my own computer company and have done everything from design, build, to diagnostics and repair [that was often tricky because computers are complex]. I was also a computer consultant for companies. I have told you these things to let you know and feel comfortable with my knowledge and suggestions. I have many years of both study and hands on computer work behind me.
