First off, I need a Graphics Card.

Here are the specs of my Desktop:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4460 CPU @ 3.20 GHz, 3201 Mhz, 4 Core(s)
Microsoft Windows 10 Home
8 GB RAM
DDR3
PCI Express 2.0
Integrated Graphics

This is more or less the model:

This is what's compatible with the model:

I'm willing to get any new parts. If you give links to new parts, please also link compatible parts.

Well if you need a graphics card then you may need a new case and/or PSU as well. What is the current make and model of you PSU?

Also budget and currency for said upgrades?

Do you have storage and/or a SSD. If you need to find out use [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] , screenshot the results and post them back here.

Given that your current CPU, RAM and Mobo are sufficient for now. I would probably consider this [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Nice SSD for a boot drive, 970 will handle most games you throw at it. New case which will support the GPU and new PSU to also support the GPU.

What about the motherboard? Is it okay or do I need to replace it too?
