GPU-Recommendations for my CPU

Peeeeeeeeeeynk

Hey guys I wanna buy a new graphics card and I am not sure what to get. I have AMD A6-6400K APU as my cpu, It comes with an 

AMD Radeon HD 8470D  and that's about it. My rig does not have a "Real" gpu for games that I wanna play like rust.

 

So I am looking for a card that goes well with my cpu. Bang for the buck is what I am trying to say.

I hope you guys can help! :)

The best GPU that cpu can handle is a r7 250/x(2gb). But id recommend doing the same thing as i have done.

Upgrade the GPU to a GTX 660, 750ti or R7 260x and overclock the shit out of your a6 6400k, I got 4.4 Ghz on the stock cooler at acceptable temps(about 60 degrees C)
The highest OC i got stable was 5Ghz.

When you have bought the GPU, Save up to a Athlon 760k(It fits in your current motherboard but has about twice the performance than the A6 6400k)

While you are on the A6 6400k you will only see like 40-70% GPU utilization But when you have upgraded to a 760k you will see 80-100%.




GPU performance(Including the integrated)        -Add/subtract 10% since it is a synthetic benchmark

Budget?

That's the defining factor when talking about any components.

<$100 - Used

<$150 - 750Ti

<$200 - 960
