First of all hello.
So I finally decided to build a new pc and needed some thoughts on the parts I've chosen and some help on deciding on which gpu to buy.
CPU: AMD-A8-7650K
Motherboard: Asus A88XM-Plus
GPU: So I have a couple to choose from and here they are :
1. ASUS gt730 2g5d.
2. ASUS VGA R7360-OC-2GD5
3. ASUS VGA GT740-OC-1GD5
HDD: Western Digital 1TB WD10EZEX SATA3 64MB 7200RPM
Memory: Kingston 8GB 2400MHz HyperX Savage
SSD: I thought of buying the hyperx 120gb fury but not sure if I need it.
Case: MS CARBON
So I'd really like some second thoughts on GPUs and if possible a list of games I'll be able to play with this build.
And what power supply would be good enough, and possibly a good cooler that would fit well on this
Thanks.
Copied gpu to cpu :(

For a power supply, look toward XFX, Seasonic or the EVGA G2 lineup. Otherwise you are filtering through the Tier 1 or Tier 2 list... www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

How does the below build translate? You have upgrade options with the CPU in an i5 or i7. Add an SSD and GPU when you can or need to. I can't stress enough how this build is better both now, and with potential upgrades, over your proposed AMD build...

With that setup, your A8 APU already has a GPU built-in that is better than the low-end GPUs you listed. What is your budget? You might be better off with an Intel Skylake setup and using its built-in graphics until you can add a gaming GPU down the road. The AMD APUs offer a fairly weak CPU...

The skylake setup is out of my budget it would add another 250$ here where I live. I don't understand computers really well so if you could throw some more info at me that would be great
Edit: My budget is around 450-500€
Edit 2: If you could recommend a power supply for me it'd be great. Thanks
