I decided to buy a GPU for rendering and photo-realism but it's really complicated. I use Archicad and Lumion applications mostly, but occasionally i use photoshop an d video editing applications.
I got AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 3.2G processor, Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 motherboard, 750W psu and 16GB RAM.
I'd like an affordable solution around 220€ for a decent GPU. Thanks

Just about any stand alone graphics board would speed up rendering.

For HD high frame rate video rendering and editing you need a more powerful GPU. I've rendered HD videos with a R7/R9 360, but takes a little time.

Also installed a much more powerful RX480 GPUs in a AMD Quad Core motherboard with great success. You have a Six Core processor - it should work fine for you.

The RX480 has hardware encoding/decoding for 4k videos if you ever get into that.
