Radeon R5 upgrade

[bananacue]

I would like to know if i can add a low profile GPU card above Radeon R5? I have a AMD A6-7400K with built-in Radeon R5. Below is my specs:

AMD A6-7400K 3.5GHz Dual-Core
Asus A88XM-A Micro ATX FM2+
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600
Sandisk Solid State Drive 128GB 2.5" SSD
Silverstone ML03B HTPC

Any recommendations are appreciated!

to be exact you can use any graphic card with it. unless you want to use Dual Graphic feature which is need specific GPU that is compatible with your APU integrated graphic. also high end graphic card will be bottleneck by your CPU. so before picking which GPU you might want something that would be more balance for your CPU. just make sure your power supply will be enough for the GPU you'll be picking

What power supply are you running?

Do you have a budget?

no more than 100$. No need an expensive card. All I need is a LOW profile card that will fit into my silverstone ML03 HTPC case.

sorry din't take note of that. for case like that you need cards with low profile design. the fastest low profile card right now i think would be nvidia GTX750Ti (though the cost would exceed 100). cards like R7 250/240 also have low profile design.

R7 250 low profile:
