Need help with an upgrade.

[yomamasfatllamas]

This is my pc: http://www.frys.com/product/7859219?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
I want to upgrade the graphics card to a significantly better one that can play video games very well; dayz, cod, etc. I dont know what graphics card is a good one I can get to upgrade my pc and I dont know if a too good of a graphics card wont "compute" with the cpu. Can you guys help me find a better graphics card in a pretty low price range like $100-$200 and explain to me what i need to know when upgradin the graphics card; like if i also need a cpu change with the gpu or something like that. thanks in advance

You shouldn't have to worry about the CPU, but there are a couple issues.

1) That tower might only accept low profile graphics cards. If you could upload a picture of the back of it, that would be ideal.

2) They don't even list the power supply, so you will probably have to upgrade that. If you could figure out what it is (look for a sticker with a model number), we could figure out if you do or not.

Specifications :

AMD A-Series A8-6500 Processor
Windows 8
AMD A75 Fusion Chipset
8GB DDR3 Dual Channel Memory
1TB SATA Hard Drive
Radeon Graphics HD8570D Graphics


You can add a graphics card if -

Your motherboard has a pciex16 slot
the card will fit in your case
your power supply can run the card
Your CPU won't be a bottleneck


For $200, try - gtx 960 - http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-gtx9602gd5toc

requires a good 430+W power supply, case with 273mm card length space.

FYI, Newegg and Amazon both have it listed (discontinued at Newegg), and it has a generic 300 watt PSU if that helps with GPU selection.
