What motherboard?
Whether or not your motherboard supports dual graphics (crossfire between dedicated graphics card and CPU graphics) will make a big difference in what I'd recommend for you.
My comp is a pre-build ( Acer ATC-220-EB51 )

-PSU: Fsp 300-60Tha(1) 300W
Well, your motherboard is ready for the upgrade, but your power supply is rather lacking.
Here's the thing... Dual graphics on your board is meant for the R7 2xx series cards. Those are not the most efficient cards and they need more wattage.
Your power supply does not have the connectors you need. You need a new power supply in order to add a video card.
Fortuneately, the cards that are compatible with your board and CPU and will get along in dual graphics mode are not very expensive.

This may or may not meet your goals of performance depending on the types of games you play and what resolution you play at.
What types of games do you play and what resolution do you play at?
I play mostly E-sport titles and looking to play destiny 2 hopefully when it comes out, and I play on 1280 x 1024, but I usually lower down due to my specs.
This card will do that resolution just fine.
Destiny 2 will likely be rather demanding, so you may need to use medium settings instead of high.
Remember, the presets like medium, high, etc. are generic. You may need to tweak them to get good performance and good visuals out your specific card.
I usually recommend reducing shadow quality (who uses that anyway), reducing or turning off motion blur and camera shake, and definitely turning down the anti-aliasing (AA) settings. These tweaks combined with some trial and error of changing settings and observing performance differences should help you get higher frame rates without sacrificing much in way of graphics.
