I want to upgrade my pc for a better gaming experience but have no clue about upgrading computer. What graphics card can i upgrade to and what power supply would i need?

you need to post your full specs: cpu, ram, motherboard, power supply, pc case make and model

and budget



if you dont know, then open the pc case and you can take a picture of the insides, upload it to a website like Imgur and post the link here.



you can also use this program to find your specs, though you would still need to take a picture of the power supply inside your pc.

Yeah right here, I have been trying to look into it to find out stuff about it because it doesnt really tell you that much about it.

sorry to say you have limited yourself pretty badly with a APU setup

which games specifically do you want to run?


you really want a i3 with HT build minimum if you want a good gaming experience



they come with bad power supplies, and not very good cases


so if you wished to upgrade to a decent video card you would need a new power supply and most likely would be limited to specific gpu's that would fit into such a case

How is that better? It only has 4gb ram
 

4gb is more than an enough for games like csgo, lol, and if u want 8gb u buy another stick for 15 $.

why i would go for a custom build over a rebuild at best buy.
1) more performance per dollar.
2) you get a stable Power supply
3) you've got something unique
4) you learn something and its fun to do and it isn't really that hard( and so easier to upgrade cuz u know what does what)

which you can upgrade, 4gb is enough to start

you have a very limited budget, compromise on things like ram NOT cpu


that i3 EASILY blows the doors off that apu for gaming



In gaming cpu + gpu are the holy duo, especially on those games you listed (gta5 and h1z1 doubly so)
