First of all my computer specs

Processor : AMD A10-5700 x4 Processor Socket Fm2 3.4ghz
MotherBoard : MSI MS-7778 (Jasmine)
Memory (RAM) : 8GB DDR3-1600
Video Card: amd radeon hd 7660d
PSU : Internal 300W (100V-240V) Atx

I'm looking for an upgrade for my Video card. My system doesn't seem to be handling the newer games coming it and even some of the older ones. I might need other upgrades, but if anyone could point me towards the right direction it would be greatly needed.

Your build is pretty much the minimum specs for most of today's high quality games. I would recommend a new rig but it can get pricey..

The best thing, in my opinion and knowledge, you can do is purchase a Radeon R7 260/260X or a GTX 750ti and a new power supply. Corsair, EVGA, and Antec are some good brands and I'd recommend 500 watts or so.
 
You gonna have to upgrade your psu too, 450w+ (depending on your choice of videocard) will be enough as long as you get a good quality psu. If you dont know what you are looking for a simple way of figuring out if the psu is good or not is by looking at the warranty length, look at my sig, im running a pretty nice system on a 5 year old 650w psu, it came with a 7 year warranty, its good stuff (a seasonic rebrand). Also make sure the psu only has one rail, the ones with multiple rails are bad. I recommend a AMD video card if you are playing any mantle enabled games because mantle really shines with budget machines, especially when you have a weak cpu as such in your case.
