I'd like to upgrade the graphics card for higher-end gaming. Can you recommend one that would work with this MOBO and what PSU and/or heat sink/fan I should get for it as well, since I understand it's going to require more juice and generate a lot more heat with the newer graphics card.

Here are the specs:
iBUYPOWER Gamer WA563R7 Black Desktop PC with AMD Six-Core FX-6300 Vishera Processor, 8GB Memory, 1TB Hard Drive and Windows 10

Thanks!

I wouldn't put more than a GTX 960 or a GTX 970 with that set up. The FX-6300 is a pretty weak CPU for modern gaming. I don't seem to be able to see what PSU or the wattage of it that's included with it. So I can't say if you have enough extra power to support it.
