Hi, I'm looking to upgrade the graphics card in my HP Pavilion 500-152ea desktop PC. It's current spec is:
Motherboard: MS-7778 (JasmineR)
Processor: AMD A10 6700
Graphics: Radeon HD 8470
Memory: 8GB
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro

I've changed the standard 300W power supply for a 450W Corsair (CS450M).

What's the best graphics card I can get for around £200 with this set up? Also, would it be worth getting another 8GB memory?

If you're only gaming, 8GB of ram is fine. If you are a heavy chrome user or edit large photos, more RAM might be worthwhile. Your processor is going to be a severe bottleneck on any new card in that price range. Personally I'd spend less than that on a GPU and get something like a 750 ti or RX460 or save the money until I had enough to build a new computer (you already have a PSU and RAM). You're not going to have a great gaming experience or be able to take full advantage of any decent graphics cards on any processor compatible with that chipset.
