I have just got into gaming on PC, so for Christmas this year I got an HP Envy desktop. I know what you're thinking, "why did you get an HP?" The reason why is because I was going to build my own rig for $500, but the envy was originally $700 and went on sale for cheaper than the rig because of holidays. (I actually got it on black Friday) . It has 12GB RAM, AMD A10 6700 with Radeon HD 8760D graphics. 2TB HDD. So I thought the specs were alright, until I just now realized the graphics were built in with the CPU, which kinda worries me. So I was wondering what to get next, maybe a GTX 750 Ti? Or would my computer hold it back?
 
Solution
A GTX750Ti would be a good fit for it, and would not require a PSU replacement either, as long as you've got at least 250W.

You will have to upgrade to a dGPU if you want to get any decent gaming performance. If you can afford an R7 270, its probably a better option; or Tom's has the 260X as the best budget GPU for the money (http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/gaming-graphics-card-review,review-32899-2.html). Your CPU shouldn't bottleneck any of the cards mentioned above.
