I'm trying to decide what my next computer upgrade will be, and I think that it will be a graphics card. My current specs are:

300W PSU
Biostar Hi-Fi A-85W Motherboard (with 2 PCIe 2.0 x16 slots (x16, x4), 2 PCI slots, and 2 PCIe x1 slot.)
AMD A85 Chipset
AMD A10-6800K 4.1 GHz CPU
8 GB ADATA DDR3 1600Mhz RAM
If it helps, I'm running Windows 8.1

I would like to take advantage of the dual graphics capability if possible. Also, I would like a relatively cheap Graphics Card, too. ($0-$175) The less it is, the more preferable. Thank you!

AMD recommends the Radeon HD 6670 for that APU specifically, it has the same core config and specs and everything (probably because the internal GPU of the A10 6800k is basically a 6670 chip)

that likely won't cost much, like maybe 60 or 70 dollars

Edit: PSU seems a bit too small for dual graphics though... I'm not sure how your computer will fare

I'm definitely going to upgrade my psu next, and then go ahead with the discrete graphics card, since I can't go with the new Kaveri...

well it's okay, Kaveri is not all that good actually, because of the lowered stock clock rates, the A10 7850k doesn't perform all that differently from your current Richland APU, it's just full of features that can't be used atm because of the lack of software support.

Well, with the new architecture, it's supposed to be a little bit better with games. And I'll overclock it, too. I'm going to be getting a CX500 (maybe the cx500m...) as am easter "present."
