I accidently Pressed SOlved on the Last one, sorry :)
Hello Community,
this is the computer I have at the moment: http://www.costco.com/CyberpowerPC-Business-Intrinsic-D...|-AMD-A6-|-Windows-7-Professional.product.100078815.html
I wanted to know I i could put a separate graphic card into this system to play games better. If you know of a graphic card i can input inside this system please do say and if it is compatible or not. Thank you, any answers are greatly appreciated. Also would I have to change the process since its not really a good one :)
Previously, people recommended Gtx750 Ti and R7 reading, but I wanted to know if I can upgrade to a similar processor but a better one that is compatible with this system, sorry for lots of questions

I can't find a ton of info on your particular computer, unfortunately. Based on the processor currently in the computer, you should be able to upgrade to an Athlon X4 760K, which is a decent cheap quad core that you can get for around $80 USD. Short of upgrading the motherboard, I don't think you'll find a better processor around.

You are going to need to pick up a new GPU for your system, though. The X4 760K doesn't have integrated graphics, so I'd say get either a GTX 750 Ti or an R7 260X, depending on how high-quality that power supply is. Basically, if in doubt, get the 750 Ti.

Yes, that sounds good. SO a quad core Athlon X4 760k and a GTX 750 Ti. Would this be the best for this system and compatible with everything else and be able to run pretty good on games?

Yes, that CPU/GPU combo should run games about as well as an Xbox One, so you should be able to handle modern games at at least medium settings, maybe better depending on the game. I'm not sure exactly what power supply was used in your build, but it should be able to handle a GTX 750 Ti pretty well. The X4 760K uses the same socket type as your current processor, so it should work just fine.
