I just got given my buddy's old pc and I was wondering what graphics card would be best to add on to it/if I should update something else first.

Specs:
GeForce GT 610 4GB

Amd-Fx 4100 3.6GHz

8gb Ram

1TB Hard Drive

toss in a rx 460 or gtx 1050


make sure the power supply is up to it
 
That's definitely an entry level CPU, but you can game on it. The 610 is not a gaming card, don't be fooled by it's low performance. You have 8gb which is good. Of new cards, the 460 or 1050 would be the best pairing. If the budget won't allow that, look at the 1030. It's not bad for an entry level gaming card, but it costs a lot for what you're getting in terms of performance per dollar.

What motherboard does it have? Compatibility could be an issue. A program like Speccy will give you details if you need help finding info.

It says my motherboard is Gigabyte Technology Co. Lyd. GA-78LMT-S2 (Socket M2)
I was looking at getting the 960 or the 1050
