R7 can be any of the following, be specific.

Radeon R7 240
Radeon R7 250
Radeon R7 250X
Radeon R7 260
Radeon R7 260X
Radeon R7 265

You need to ditch the A8 APU and get serious with an actual CPU, but no one can give specific advice with no budget mentioned,. It might be best to wait for AMD's supposed soon to release 3000 series Ryzens. Radeon VII is also coming, but no telling when, what models, or what price. Some have speculated they will release midrange models some time in 2019.

I'm not sure of R7 . But in order to play most of the games Should I need change APU or Graphics card and to which one. I am looking for low budget upgradation

If you plan to play a lot of games of the Battlefield V level, you're going to need a good GPU, even if just at 1080p.

Still haven't mentioned a budget though, so I can't say. Low budget means different things to different people. Again, be specific.

AROUND 200$

This is an exception deal at $190, but it requires 500w total system power (PSU).

I have 550W PSU. SO I JUST NEED TO UPGRADE MY GRAPHICS CARD? WILL MY AMD PROCESSOR BE ABLE TO HANDLE ALL THE GAMING?

is Zotac GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC Edition good enough?

also is 4gb ram sufficient for my requirement?

It's more of an incremental upgrade. The A8 APUs are going to be outdated for anything current. All you need do is downclock the GPU a bit to lessen the bottleneck, or just let it play at less than it's potential. BTW, Newegg has RX 580s starting at $180 for 8GB models.

The cheapest 1050 Ti is only $40 less at 40% less graphics power, and they only have one fan and half the VRAM. That is a very bad choice since most current games are getting to the point where recommended spec is 8GB VRAM.

When upgrading you always want to think about best value for something that can handle current games and upcoming games.
