Hello there, im new in the gming computer stuff so I need a word of advice please.
I have a AMD A6 7400k processor, 8gb of RAM, Asus A55bm-e motherboard, and i want to buy a new graphics card because mine isnt very good for games and just have 1gb. I want a Nvidia GeForce gtx 1050 with 4gb or a Nvidia GeForce gtx 950 with 3gb, also they are selling me a Radeon R9380 2gb. Which one should i take? The games that i use are rome II total war, warhammer and that kind of stuff that need at least 2gb of graphics card. Thanks very much for any answer.

You're a little off on describing the GPUs you want. Here is what GPUs are available that you may have tried to mention:

GTX 950 2GB
GTX 1050 2GB
GTX 1050 Ti 4GB
GTX 1060 3GB
R9 380 2GB

Here is how they line up in terms of least to greatest performance:

GTX 950 < GTX 1050 < GTX 1050 Ti < R9 380 < GTX 1060

Now, with that being said all of those cards will be bottlenecked by your dual-core processor, so you will still be wanting for an upgrade even after you upgrade your graphics card. You could purchase an Athlon II X4 860K, but it will also bottleneck any of those graphics cards but not as much.

*Do you have an overall budget? You could purchase a graphics card now, and save for a CPU later. I'd recommend going with a newer...
