What is a good upgrade for my Graphics Card

[Magma]

I have built my first Pc recently for gaming, It seems to run well on everything but games, I can pull 120 fps out of everything even game menu's but as soon as it goes into the actually game it hits 1-20 fps. My graphics card is complete crap as you could tell from looking up an image. I just am not sure that its the graphics card. Just let me know if you think it is the graphics card and what graphics card I can get in a 200 dollar (USD) range. 

 

My part list is:

 

AMD A8-7600 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor

Asus A88XM-A Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard

G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory

Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

EVGA GeForce GT 610 2GB Video Card

Thermaltake Commander MS/I Snow Edition (White/Black) ATX Mid Tower Case

EVGA 500W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply

uh... your integrated graphics are miles better than your graphics card. take it out and burn it with fire.

 

if that isn' good enough for what you want, I would work on building a whole new system since the CPU you have isn't really capable of keeping up to a graphics card in the $200ish range.

Get a R9 380. Your CPU will be a bottlecnk though, maybe within the next 2-3 months get one of those Skylake i3's or Haswell i3s

And this.

What monitor do you use, if all you want is fps then 60 might be all you can see.

[Deletive]

gtx 950 would work pretty well, if you look used you could get maybe get around 280, and such ( haven't checked gpu market prices in USD for awhile) 

[ForsakenLive]

Well, for starters the GPU inside yor CPU (integrated) is more powerful than the GT 610 you bought for some reason...

[Amazingasian]

380 or mayybe a 290/280x

[Notree]

And yes your gpu  is terrible. So is your cpu..  GTX 950 or R9 270X

[Magma]

Ok, so should I get something other than an amd cpu? If I upgrade the Graphics card will I need to upgrade my cpu to something other than amd for it to be worth it. (I would also have to upgrade my motherboard). What is the best way to push my fps up just a little bit and what components would be the best for the least cost. I am at 20 fps and can deal with it but 35 or more is preferable. Some common games I play are Payday, Prison Architect, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Rust (Old version cause new graphics are INSANE), City Skylines, CSGO, and many others.

I'd listen to what a few said and just run the intergrated graphics on your CPU for a while and save up for a few months to get some nice stuff

EVGA W1 PSUs are VERY VERY VEEEERY bad. replace that first

I haven't had any issues with it. It has an occasional bad review, what is so bad about it? I really don't care if I can connect or disconnect cable's and that is not a significant factor for me.

Yeah I would like to get a better cpu, If I were to go with that I would also have to upgrade my motherboard.

It uses cheap chinese capacitors, it's build quality is bad to say the least and it's made by FSP based on the very poor Raider platform. if it fries your system when you get an actual GPU, don't blame anyone but yourself. You have been warned. Further issues are your fault and yours alone.

[DarkBlade2117]

Yeah, hence 2-3months. Probs be around $300-$350 for a Skylake i3, 8GBa of DDR4 and a H170 mobo.

   I already have 16GB of ram that I would just transfer over, Upgrading those would also include the upgrade for the graphics card. So with the Skylake I3, and the H170 Mobo being replaced, what graphics card should I get. If i'm going to be paying an additional 300 or so for the other components I would be willing to save up a bit more for the graphics card but nothing insane and not at all worth it please. The range I guess i'm looking at is spending an additional 200-300 for the graphics card. Thanks for the help.

I did try to keep this build a little more budget friendly... I payed around 800 dollars total, It still runs A TON better than the mac I have. I think something in it just, died. It has trouble opening one of its own menus . I have also finally stopped gaming on a mac/

If you go with a Skylake i3 then you wouldn't be able to use the DDR3 memory that you have as skylake is only compatible with DDR4 memory
