I have an AMD a10 7870k CPU and it has an integrated gpu. I want to change the gpu to a better one but I dont know what is compatible and what to buy.
I can play games in low graphics(DOTA2, TF2, BFBC2) okay with this but i want to be able to play with higher graphics. I dont even know which GPUs are best for games with only my AMD a10

Okay so with the 400 dollars I would go with this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

I know its a FX 8350 and most people say stay away from them, but with the cooler you can OC it pretty well to get a extra 5-10 frames from it. It is a bit better not much though than your current one, if you want though you can just keep the one you got now and go GTX 1060 and then save the rest of the money till you get 400 dollars and get a I5 7500 and a LGA 1151 MOBO or go Ryzen.

I would say go with a RX 480/580, GTX 1060, or a GTX 1050 TI. The better of em all is the GTX 1060 and RX 580 (They perform the same, but the RX 580 is better in DX12 and Vulkan) Also what is your budget on a new GPU?
 
Any GPU will work, and faster GPUs are always better. However, after a certain point, a faster GPU won't deliver any higher framerates at max graphical settings because your CPU won't be able to feed it any faster, at which point you'd want a CPU upgrade to further improve performance.

Where this happens will vary from game to game. In something very CPU-heavy, you may find that even an inexpensive GTX 1050 will not be able to stretch its legs with your CPU and the game will perform poorly regardless of what GPU you buy. In others which put very little load on the CPU, or if you were to get something like a 4K monitor, you may find gains with a GTX 1080 or even 1080 Ti. Given that faster CPUs exist for as little as $60, it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to me to, say, spend $1000 on a GPU and not make any other changes to your system.

Realistically, a GTX 1050 or 1050 Ti would be a good choice. Something like an RX 570, 580, or GTX 1060 would show additional gains in most cases, but may also perform no better than a less expensive card until you get a faster CPU.

I have a budget of around $200. I think i can go for GTX 1050 or 60.
Uhm. I can get another $200 prolly next month. I want to go for a cpu upgrade too if possible but I think a total of $400 will not do?

Eh yeah that would be a hard one, although I will check out things for you I will update when I got something together. All I need to know is your current MOBO.
