I'm looking for the best budget graphics card to run more modern game on my PC i want it be able to play x com 2 fallout 4 and arma 3 as well as newer games.
This is my current PC. (couldn't upload picture anyone know what website works for this here)
Windows 10 pro
amd fx-6300
8gb ram
ASUStek motherboard M5A78L-M/USB3
nvidia geforce gt 740
 
Solution
Granted that is true and your CPU is holding you back somewhat, if your not in the market for a new PC and finances does not accommodate new hardware all round then the best would be something like mentioned above, but I would say look towards the RX570 if at all possible or the GTX 1050 ti. If not then the RX560 is as low as I would go, granted the GT740 is not the best gaming gpu so it wouls be an upgrade non the less

Ideally you would want to upgrade everything. XCOM 2, fallout 4, and arma 3 just happen to all be games that run rather poorly on amd fx cpu's. A better gpu would certainly help, but it will likely be bottlenecked in some way by your cpu. What is your budget for a gpu?

In a fx-6300/ 8gb ram/ gt 740 setup the weak link is clearly the gt-740.
Even the $115 EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GAMING would be a huge upgrade.
