graphics card Need Help With my Pre-Built PC

[Chance]

Hello, I bought a prebuilt computer a little while ago and it is running great on csgo but i want to play more intensive games.

Here is the link to my computer: Best Buy. 

Quick specs are:

CPU: AMD FX 4300 @3.8Ghz

RAM: 8G(Brand i do not know)

OP: Windows 10

Hard Drive: 1Tb @ 7200 rpm

Power supply: 300

Motherboard: MSI 760GM-P23(FX) (MS-7641) 3.0

But here is the Graphics card i have: AMD Radeon R7 240

The question i have here is what is a good graphics card i should get and do i need to upgrade my power supply.

 

Thank You, 

Chance B.

this makes me sad...

hmm......

you might get by with something like an R9 260  maybe a 270

@ELSknutsonThank you for the input. When I bought it i dint know that was a bad graphics card until i saw linus video on it.

Wow that's obnoxious that they label it a "gaming pc" and only put an r7 240 in it...

 

You're definitely going to need to look at getting a new power supply if you are looking to make a significant upgrade

the system is pretty limited as far as expanding it goes  before you buy any grapics card make sure you power supply has the connectors for it otherwise you will need to get a GPU that does not require a power connector and runs off the PCIE slot,  If you try to upgrade that prebuilt system's PSU you may run into compatibility issues. Please keep us  informed about what you plan on doing so you dont end up spending extra on parts you can not use.

I will make sure i keep you guys informed and that is why im the forum is to make sure i don't do anything the would be un-compatible.
