To play modern games you'll ned discrete card. Altough APU video is good, it's strong enough to compete with demands.
For example radeon 7770's are around 110$, they are nice cards, will fit your system and will run newer games.

If you can provde your budget maybe we can find something suitable for you.

Best regards

It's total (with shipping) is $505.59. I would like a graphics card that is about 200 or less as I'm exceeding my budget!

Is this a good graphics card? It's the cheapest 7770 I could find on PCpartpicker, http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-r77702pmd1gd5oc

It is ok. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-7770-7750-benchmark,3135-6.html this is review from our site.

If you wan't to go up to the end of your budget i would suggest buying radeon 7850. It is quite stronger than 7770 and will provide more gaming in the future.

Feldmarschall :

Thanks for the help! But is XFX Radeon HD 7850 1GB Video Card good? Is 1GB memory and 860 MHz enough for standard gaming, painting (software), and regular surfing on web?

Yes. It is good card, much better than 7770 (like the price wouldn't tell

). It will be enough for gaming, surfing and painting software.

You'll be able to play most recent games on high settings.

Best regards
