I couldn't find that board online. How many PCI-E 16x slots does your board have? Also are they gen 2 or gen 3 slots? depending on your budget and RX 570 or 580, or a GTX 1050 TI or 1060 should do you nicely, however what cpu are you using as this could bottle neck your card.

Ah ok, so your running an APU. It's most likely 2nd gen PCI-E. Since your running an APU, your GPU option may be limited some. Your integrated graphics on the APU communicates over 8 PCI E lanes, leaving 8 to a GPU which could possibly bottleneck a fast GPU. I would recommend something along the lines of a 1050 ti or 1060, or you could run your APU in crossfire with an AMD card, an option you could try right now and see if it ends up being fast enough for you. As for an AMD card something like an RX 480,570, or 580 should do you good if you can even find one, or you could go a little older and get something like a Radeon HD 7870 which should be faster than your current GPU.

You need to list the system model you have not just the motherboard, and also the power supply brand/model, CPU you are running and the power supply wattage, especially the wattage available on the 12v rail.

What I recommended should be fine, however you might want to get a new PSU as your old one probably wont be able to handle a more powerful card like a 7870.
