I Have a 210W PSU and the Radeon 6450 works perfectly but i want a upgrade. I want to play games like Tera Online, Battlefield 4 or Black Desert Online. Will the radeon r7 250 work, and is there a better gpu, that works on a 210W PSU

I dont think you are going to have a good time playing higher end games on your rig. The PSU is VERY limiting.

From what I have found the r7 draws about 180w under load. That is nearly maxing your system.

I would honestly look into a new build (depending on your existing hardware)

I can't afford a new system and your information is not so accurate. The MSI RADEON R7 250 1GD5 OC, draws 68W, at max load. I have done my homework, i can't say the same for you. I can play tera online on low to med on my current rig, so with this gpu, i can play it on high settings.
