hey I currently have
amd a4-6300 x2 with radeon graphics 8370d APU
8gb ram
and I was wondering if I uninstalled the integrated graphics and got a EVGA GeForce gtx 1050 it would upgrade my fps in games like CSGO. I need a better graphics card as my pc cant handle basic games that I want to play.

Should I upgrade this? help pls

Run YOUR games, but lower your resolution and eye candy.
If your FPS increases, it indicates that your cpu is strong enough to drive a better graphics configuration.
If your FPS stays the same, you are likely more cpu limited.

I am guessing that you will find that your cpu is too slow, particularly in single thread performance.
Unfortunately, there are no real good CPU upgrades available to you with your current motherboard.
