I am looking for a new graphics card for gaming, I am trying to play games like Rainbow Six Siege, BF1, and Islands of Nyne. And I am looking for something that is less than $200 dollars. I am also trying to get a graphics card that will work with games I plan on getting later.
Here's what I have right now:
Processor: AMD FX-8350 4.0 GHz 64 bit 8-Core Processor
Memory: 16 GB DDR3
Graphics: AMD Radeon R9 390X 8 GB
Power Supply: 750W
Motherboard: AMD 970
CPU: FX-8000 Series

I would appreciate any help, thank you.
 
as stated above.

you are lookign at even a small gpu upgrade being over $250-$300

on nvidea think 970(possibly..cant recall fully if it is better) and 1060-1080 are upgrades.

not sure on the AMD side (as i havent had one of them since my x1300 way back in like 2005 or soemthing) but even then you are likly not gonna get an upgrade for under 250. (and even then it is betetr to save for a betetr one as its better long term for price to increase balance)

If you go over the $200 budget to $300
You could get the Radeon RX580 8GB OC

The RX 580 would be more of a side grade than an upgrade. The only benefit would be reduced power consumption and less heat produced.
 
I have both the Rx 580 and R9 390X

The R9 is faster in many games and only 1/10 games are slightly faster on the 580.

What is slowing you down, is the CPU, save up some money and get something a bit more powerful.
