Hello. You will need a new power supply and a graphics card. Don't buy a cheap psu. A bad voltage regulator will kill your whole pc.
Afterwards, you might want to upgrade your case, no? A cpu cooler upgrade.

Okay, for a 200$ budget, here you go, it will last you a good 2-3 years easily.

Believe me, don't go cheaper. I went for a 7770 2gb, and I am upgrading next summer. Only will last around a year if you don't buy something good. My gpu is not bad, but when I upgrade from 1050p to 1080p, my 7770 will struggle in my games. Buy it right or buy it twice. I have only been buying high quality parts ever since.

For about $200 you could get these
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 270 2GB Dual-X Video Card ($139.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($49.99 @ NCIX US)
Total: $189.98
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available
I would say you'd get around medium setting. Intergrated GPU's won't affect putting in a distinct GPU.

Easily. You can play 40-50fps with an integrated gpu?!?!?!?! What resolution is your monitor? You will play high around 70ish fps easily.

My monitor resolution is 1920 x 1080, but to get 40-50 fps with my current set up, i have to play on lowest settings on the arma 2 mod. Also, would it be worth it to spend the extra money to get what you first recommended?

Absolutely. Don't cheap out, please. You will love this upgrade.

If you can afford it, get a R9 270 as a minimum. You won't be hitting 70fps easily on DayZ SA, more like 50. That being said, it will be a very good upgrade from integrated graphics.
See this vid for an indication of setting and frame-rates in a few games

Could you give me a link so i know I am looking at the right one.(when I searched, many things came up at all different prices.), Also would the 50 fps be on medium settings?

I can't answer that with any real confidence, but I would hazard a guess at yes. A few sites have released predicted requirements, but they could be totally wrong. Until Rockstar release the recommended requirements, we're all in the dark.What about arma 3? i know you said that all 270s perform similar, but was watching a video about a Gigabyte R9 270 OC that can run arma 3 on pretty good settings while still having good fps.

No need to be concerned, it will perform awesome.

Why are the prices so different if they all perform similar?Some just overclock slightly better than others. As long as they use the same graphics processor, the difference is neglible. Some are made for silence (vapor-x, xfx), and others are for maximum intense overclocking (toxic, windforce, etc..). When are you buying the gpu?

The differences are huge because bitcoin miners prefer some cards more than others. Really, because of how intense bitcoin has gotten, for 240$ you can easily pick up an r9 290. Probably shouldn't though, the lifespan is dramatically shorter than it is intended to because they have been running at 100% all the times

I might go with this r9 270, ive seen videos of people playing demanding games with it and the graphics looks great. I figured 30 dollars more would be worth it.

Nope, for that pricepoint there are much quieter, more reliable gpu's with better warranty's, overclocking potential, etc..

Asus makes some kickass coolers. You will not be disappointed.

Forget ATI, dude. For a given amount of money, you get more from Nvidia. Their lying, unethical marketing people made me abandon them for a while, but their engineers made me come back. I have an (old) Geforce 470 that still takes anything I throw at it.
Fior $200 you can get an asskick Geforce card.

If your motherboard has PCIe16x slot and most motherboards has you can install PCIe16x graphic card and integrated disable in BIOS.
