I asked about this PC before and it has the hd radion 7750 made by asus, but it seems to be lacking quality with FFXIV ARR, it won't pull it on high and I think it even skips on mid-high settings, but we noticed the PC did have the 6 pin power connector for GPU's, is there a better GPU we can try? I asked back in June maybe a new compatible GPU came out, here's the PC Spec's, Thanks in advance.

no one has any advice about a updated graphics card? I know some of the power supply requirements gone down, or is the AMD HD 7770 the best we can get? any helpful advice will be appreciated.
