just buy a polaris card, RX 470/480/570/580 maybe a cheap 590

 

preferably with 8GBs of VRAM. Should be ~$100 USD

Unless you're getting something like a GTX 980 or better, I'm not sure I'd really bother, would keep saving.

 

you already have an R3 2200G right?

the 980 has the same performance as the RX 580s, but the 580s got new features that make it more desirable if the prices are close. also has a bit more VRAM.

 

Is your RAM already overclocked? and are you running with 2 sticks? you want really fast dual channel RAM for the APUs.

 

$100 980 sounds great, but is it real and working? lol

think so but i have one stick of 8gb but im getting another 8gb stick so ill have dual channel then which will be in like a week or so 

i can also keep look out for other cards if i can find one for cheap like the ones you said what do you think about the gtx 1060

A 980/1060/580 are all in the same ball park for performance.
