I am stuck with GPU choice

Hi, I've recently bought this pc:

Case PCS Alpha Trion 7622B

Processor (CPU) AMD A10-7850K Black Edition (4.0GHz)

Motherboard ASUS A55BM-E

Memory (RAM) 8GB Kingston HyperX 1600MHz (2 x 4GB)

Graphics Card AMD Radeon R7 Graphics (Integrated)

1st HDD 1TB SATA III, 7200RPM (6Gb/s)

2nd HDD N/A

Optical Drive 24x Dual Layer DVD-Writer

Power Supply Corsair VS350 (350W)

Processor Cooler Standard AMD CPU Cooler

Sound Card Onboard 7.1 High Definition Audio

And I thought it would be great, turns out I was wrong, it's crap at gaming and I need help choosing a suitable graphics card. I was thinking this http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00IIXDMDI/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1430425712&sr=8-7&keywords=radeon+r9+270xbut I am unaware if it will work or if my pc can handle it. I would love help and suggestions on a GPU I should buy at I reasonable price. I would like to be able to play games like GTAV at high setting smoothly. Thanks.

The 270x is a great GPU and it will run most games including GTA V on high, however you're going to need to replace that PSU 350W won't be enough for that card, a good 500w should suffice. I however recommend getting a 260x instead and running it in dual graphics mode with your APU, a 260x will be able to run on that 350w PSU and in dual graphics mode with your A10 it'll be able to run most games on high and still come in at $50-60 cheaper than the 270x.

A 260X will not run in dual graphics mode with a 7850K. The R7 250 and 240 are the only ones that will be able to it.
