We are going to need a little more info than that. At least list the basic specs of the PC. There are many combinations of different AMD chips that are compatible with each other including some integrated GPUs. But, we need to know what you have and what you want to add if we are to be of any help.

[hit wrong button, my bad] you can use any GPU that uses the "Barts" core. According to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_HD_6000_Series#Radeon_HD_6800) this includes the 6850, 6870 and a card made by Powercolor called the 6870X2 which, like the 295X2, is basically a dual chip GPU with two 6870s. The 6870 will be much easier to find, though and will be more economical as they can be found for under $100 USD on ebay.

You would need to upgrade the power supply. The 6870 has been discontinued for awhile so finding a new card will be hard to impossible. Ebay maybe your best bet to find one. For a PSU you'll want a good 700w or larger PSU.
