Hi guys, my parents currently have a pc they bought a couple years ago and I was wondering if it would be good enough for gaming (games like team fortress 2 and possibly call of duty at medium or high settings) once i buy a good graphics card for it. Here's the specs:
CPU: AMD FX(tm) 4100 Quad Core ¬3.6 GHz
Hard Drive: Western Digital 2 TB SATA
Mobo: Asrock N68-VS3 FX
RAM: Kingmax DDR3 1333 4gb Longrim x 2 (So thats 8gb RAM)
GPU: None, has integrated graphics
PSU: WideTech 550 watt power supply (came with the case)
Case: WideTech WT5285B w/ 550w psu
Monitor: 1440 x 900 resolution, 16:10 Aspect ratio (Benq Senseye+photo E900WA)

So ultimately my question is: is the Sapphire Radeon R7 265 good enough for the pc, or would it require something more powerful? Is it even compatible with my build? What frame rates should I expect?

Also, what upgrades should I consider for video editting (for my parents).

The R7 265 is a good choice for that build. If you don't want to stress the GPU(I am not sure about that brand) you could go for a GTX 750 ti as well which doesn't perform quite as well but takes less power.
