My motherboard is a 970A-G46 AMD 9 Series
My Cpu is the Fx 6100
My Psu has 500W
I have the NZXT guardian 921 rb

Im looking for a graphics card that could fit into my case and could go with my Psu. My budget is under $200 and I also want to buy ram.

This is my first time build a pc and could appreciate the help

Im not a hardcore gamer but I like to play alot of steam games like left 4 dead and I want to play starcraft 2, Wow, stuff like that

Thanks

Start by looking at this: "Best Graphics Cards For The Money: October 2013" by Tom's Hardware.

There will likely be another edition for November out shortly.

Once you have picked a card in your price range, check its manufacturers specifications web site to make sure its length, width and height will fit in your case, and most importantly ensure that its power requirements, both total watts, and current supply on the 12V rail are met by your PSU.

Keep in mind that your case may need to deal with more waste heat as well.
