Any PCIe graphics card will work in that board. With that processor I wouldn't look at any thing to high spec. RX 550/560 or GTX 1050/1050Ti. I would ge any higher than that. The CPU is not ideal for a gaming PC.

HD graphics simply do not cut it for gaming. He needs a slight CPU upgrade as well, as that is definitely not ideal for gaming like Tommy said. I would definitely recommend the 1050ti for GPU.
 
You buy a APU for the excellent integrated graphics.
But, there are no real good upgrades, particularly for a gamer.
If you install a superior discrete graphics card, you will have thrown away the big advantage of the APU.
Then, you are left with a relatively weak cpu. Most games depend on only a few fast cores.

Bottom line.....
What you get with a APU is what you will live with forever.

But... if the primary game depends on fast graphics, then something like a GTX1050ti might be appropriate.
Any discrete graphics card can be moved to a new pc build later.

What is the current psu?
Anything stronger than a GTX1050ti may require a stronger psu.
