Oh, didn't think about the motherboard.
Depends on whether you get a single or dual slot GPU.
is it possible to get a single slotted GPU these days because all the ones i find are dual slots
would it improve performance? then using onboard? because the CPU i have has a decent GPU on it (it would be cheaper and maybe effective to increase the RAM on board)

any mid range GPU will be better than the igpu
there are still single slot GPU's, though some have custom coolers that extend quite a bit
your best bet would be this
7750
or you could get a
6670 and crossfire it with the A8
..
hmm .. seems you can crossfire with a
7750 as well?

edit:
your motherboard choice has
- 1 pcie @ 16x (16x physical) dual slot GPU
- 1 pcie @ 1x (1x physical) goes here
- 1 pci
- 1 pcie @ 4x (16x physical) plug your capture card here
*you can plug a 1x card in a 16x physical slot, no problem
Why do you need a dedicated GPU again? I though u weren't even using that PC for gaming....
Boogs. Assuming you placed the slots in order. The capture card requires the 2nd slot from the top
Although the 7750 seems like a good idea otherwise.
I also keep forgetting I have a spare 550w on hand. And might have gotten a ssd drive
Assassinator. I am throwing steam on there as well.

For your information you can plug a PCIe 1x card into a PCIe 4x or 16x slot...
Interesting. Although is that really a good idea?
I might go with the graphics card I picked before

plugging a 1x in a 4x/16x slot?
yeah, its completely safe and okay :)
