Ok from wut i reading the r5 220 had 25 mhz more than the 6450. According to xfx. I mean it was reading as an r5 220 til about 2 months ago. But if thats wut it is then thanx for clearing that up
 


Not really, it's a video card so you can have video if your CPU doesn't have integrated graphics.

I wouldn't buy anything less than a r7 though.
