So i want to buy a new graphics card for my PC, My current build is

Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 6550D
Motherboard: F1A75-M PRO
CPU: AMD A8-3870 APU (3.0Ghz)
Ram: 8GB
PSU: 800W
Monitor: Acer 20IN LED 1600X900 S200HL
HDD: 1TB with windows 8.1

So i want to just have an all around better computer for max setting gaming for now and the future and i want to start streaming with high settings. i figure id start with the graphics card for now since the rest seems fine for the most part.

Any help will be greatly appreciated thanks.

Did not say you need to buy a new pc, I said you are pretty much limited to upgrading the video card as the other stuff is a bit outdated.

enough for high setting in games but it depends on your CPU + use low voltage which doesn't require 6pin connector in MSI brand.Since your PSU 800watt better get R9 270x.If you have more budget get GTX770 or R9 280x it will max most game easily.

Sorry for the late reply~

If you're looking for the cheapest, and fastest way to get higher FPS in your games, then getting a single Graphics Card that such as the GTX 750ti , would do.

Here's one for $135

If you'd like to spend your full $600, then upgrading these few parts would be a great start.

Note that you could get a cheaper motherboard if you don't need all the features of the Asrock B85M Pro 4

All parts should fit in your case. I could check if they'd fit if you tell me your Case's model name
