Hey everyone,

I'm about to upgrade my computer's GPU so I can play some upcoming games, mainly The Division, but possibly Wildstar, DayZ SA, ESO, Titanfall and likely many more. I don't feel the need to build a completely new computer so I am going to upgrade my HP's GPU for now.
My specs are:

Processor - AMD A10-5700
RAM - 10 GB
HDD - 1 TB
Screen Resolution - 1920 x 1080

I am wanting to spend a max of $200 - $215. I know I have to get a new PSU also but I already have a 650 watt one I will get just to be extra careful.

Any help would be great.

Thanks!

The best graphics card in that price range is likely to be an R9 270X. If you can stretch to $230+ then you can get a GTX760.
It's also possible you'll still see HD7870XTs (or even a HD7950 if you were lucky) being sold off in that kind of area too.

650W PSU is overkill for any of those cards, so make sure to go for quality over "sticker" wattage, and get something decent. 500-550W is plenty.
