help and selecting video card

What games do you play and what performance level are you looking for?

That being said all of the components of your system are pretty low end. The iGPU in that APU is really cut down and only has 128 shaders. If you upgraded to something like a 5500 or 5600K it would both double your CPU and GPU performance (quad core, 256 shaders). If you were considering that upgrade I'd also suggest instead a BIOS upgrade and the higher end APU such as the 6800K.

You could put a faster GPU in there now, but that single-module/dual-core CPU is going to hold you back bigtime.

i was using it for RC heli flight simulator, it doesnt require a lot, but my unit right now cannot go with higher resolution, i have to drop it down to the lowest, and still see it pause for a bit, as long as the graphics will improve i will be very happy about it, do you think the above link will improve the performance
 
That 6450 isn't fast enough to warrant the cost. If you could find one for $5 or $10 after rebate then maybe. I think it would also crossfire with the onboard iGPU but the microstutter would be incredible.
 
ok thanks, i think i just go with the the first option, upgrade the processor 5800k or 6800k, you think it will do the job, i just have to find a good deal
