Graphics Card?

[Tortoises]

I have an asus gaming desktop and I would like to know a good graphics card to use with a $550 limit. I have an AMD A10-6700 APU with Radeon HD Graphics with an AMD Radeon R7 200 Series graphics card currently. I also have 16GB of RAM, (Not sure if important but the PC model is ASUS Desktop PC M11BB Series) Let me know if any other info is needed like power supply, motherboard, etc

$550 to spend on both a new PSU and GPU?

[Clyne]

Your gonna have to replace the PSU if you didn't already if you want a gpu that's better than a 750Ti because the PSU in that rig would be OEM and not powerful enough to power a new gpu that's better than a 750Ti.

Maybe new GPU+PSU+ and SSD?

What do u need? Get a 980 if it's just the GPU

Edit: Nvm will be bottlenecked

Ok if I for the PSU ow many watts should it be and why do i I need a new SSD?

BTW im fairly new with this stuff

You could go up to a GTX 970/R9 290X without major bottlenecks, though you will still bottleneck a bit.

What's bottle necking?

What's bottle necking?

The CPU basically can't handle the graphics horsepower and in the end you get less performance out of your GPU.

THIS IS NOT A SCIENTIFIC WAY OF EXPLAINING IT but it's the basic idea

Really appreciate it!
