I'm wondering if it's possible to put a dedicated graphics card on this prebuilt amd a-10 7800 computer

I've already heard that amd's APUs can utilize both integrated and dedicated graphics at the same time. What I'm wondering is if I can actually install an extra graphics card in addition to the already available igpu on this computer. If I can, I would like to hear suggestions for what graphics card i should install that's compatible. http://www.costco.com/HP-Pavilion-500z-Desktop-%7c-AMD-A10.product.100156529.html Never built or customized a computer before I just know about it

That APU will pair with the R7 240 or the R7 250.

any other better gpus? Will the graphic cards fit on the computer?

any other advice?

You asked for a GPU that you could use with the APU. I listed the only two available. Don't believe me, google it yourself. I don't know what you expect for "other advice" or "better GPU". Only two will work with it.

Now with a different power supply and not using the integrated GPU at the same time, you have much more options, mostly limited by space in the case (which no one really knows on a cheap costco computer) and how much money yu want to spend, but that's not what you asked.

Oh sorry, not dual graphics just graphics cards that wont bottleneck because of the cpu. Could you give me some good graphic cards under this circumstance? Also how many watts for the power supply?

if your Psu has atleast 20A on the 12v rail you can get a 750ti, if your Psu has a 6pin power connector along with atleast 20A you can get a 960
