Compatible GPU for my mobo

I just bought a new pc for gaming / low productivity.

 

My issue here is that I would like to get a new gpu since an integrated one isn't cutting it.

 

My budget is £150 and I need a gpu that doesn't require extra power (6-pin connector) I was looking into the 750 ti but im not 100% sure that it is compatible.

 

Because of my age some upgrades are not be possible e.g upgrade motherboard, upgrade cpu upgrade psu etc

 

Pc Specs:

AMD A8-5600K 3.6 GHz          
AMD Radeon HD 7560D
8 GB Ram          
MSI FM2-A55M-E33

I agree with ShadowTech, but you could also look into the 950 75W version.

I'm pretty sure AMD calculates wattage at 9/10 amps times volts.

 

I'm kidding by the way.

The 750Ti will work but I'd wait for the RX 460 as it will outperform it at a similar price.

Definitely going to get a rx 460. I just need to verify that my gpu supports it and it wont bottleneck my cpu too much.

Don't worry about compatibility. And don't worry about bottlenecks either. Buy the best you can afford.

If you're doing 1080p gaming, use the R7 370 or 360 with an aftermarket version (XFX's version for example). You can overclock it 10% easy and play most games at medium-ish settings at 60fps. I use the R7 360 because I'm just a poor little salvage, and I'm fairly satisfied with the performance.

Rig: AMD A8-6600K (Hand-me down from my father, it was free)

Some MSI motherboard with like 2 fan headers... it sucks Kappa

AMD FXF R7 360 (OC'd to 1200MHz)

Some case I don't know anything about.

Generic Cooler Master 500w PSU
