What would be a good graphicscard to add to this apu?

[Guest]

At this moment I have an AMD A8-6600K APU 8570D Radeon Graphics and I know this is not the best setup but I want to get more performance in games and I know I need a graphicscard for that. So what would be a good graphicscard for a reasonable price for this apu?

Also I have 4gigs of RAM but Im pretty sure getting a graphicscard would be more important right?

Thanks

The RAM you have is more important with APUs than it is with CPUs.

Do you know the details of what RAM you have or only what amount you have?

I dont know my RAM Speed but if I had one choice at this moment that would be Graphics card or 8GB Ram what would be better for more frames?

honestly, considering you have 4gb of what is likely cheap and slow ram, I'd throw it out and replace it with an 8GB kit of 2x4GB of 2133mhz RAM. (the part about it being 2133 MHz is important, faster memory increases the performance of your APU)

You need the memory upgrade regardless of whether or not you get a GPU, so it makes sense to get the item which benefits you in two places at once. My knowledge in this area is limited, so it would be nice if someone would confirm your APU/motherboard can use 2133. Oh yes, post your motherboard too. And your power supply. If you get a graphics card in the future it needs to be something your PSU has the power to handle.
