Hello, I found a PowerColor Radeon R7 250X graphics card for $60. Do you think this is a good deal? I play some games, but not very graphic intense games. Do you think this video card will bottleneck? Here is my system:
AMD A6-3500
8GB RAM
MSI A75MA-G55
600W PSU

Yeah. Getting a discrete GPU will let you handle games better, bit to mention free up som RAM. 250x will play most games on medium/high. You could always try getting a 6670 and crossfire it with your apu but I think cheapest 6670 is $69 atm

A r7 250x at 60$ is a decent deal. It's a nice entry level graphics card that can play everything pretty well. My old HD 5750 was able to play everything well on medium/high. I'd imagine the r7 250x would do better.

I think you could also crossfire a r7 250x with your apu, but i'm not sure.

I think dual graphics doesn't support anything above 250 I think.

$60 seems like a really good price. I guess the ideal GPU for it would be the GT 640/GT 740 or AMD 7750/R7 250. The R7 250X is similar in performance to the AMD 7770, so a ways above them. It's still not a beastly card, there will be bottlenecking in CPU intensive games, but otherwise it will be okay in GPU intensive games, for what the lowly A6-3500 can manage that is.

R7 250X requires 20 amps on the 12v rail & a 450W PSU minimum + 1x 6-pin PCIE

A6-3500 + GTX 580 benchmark (580 is massively above a 250X/7770)
