Okay so the old computer died terminally and need to replace asap and money is short, it was a PC world one bought when I knew nothing 6 years ago.
Have got a computer coming from PCs with okay specs with intention it can be upgraded later. No graphics card yet.
Main use will be the wife's low demand graphics I don't get much time to game, I have kids.but wouldn't mind the ability to play say guild wars 2. The PSU is 450w can I get a reasonable graphics card with this or should I upgrade the PSU to 550w.
Can anyone point me at a reasonable graphics card for the 450w
Need to make decision now before order is built have already changed stuff once the techs at PCs will kill me

PCS DOMINATOR 6806B BLACK case
Mother board Amd a88xm plus
Processor (CPU) AMD A8-6600K Quad Core APU (3.9-4.2GHz) & Radeon™ HD 8570D Graphics
CORSAIR 450W VS SERIES™ VS-450 POWER SUPPLY
8GB KINGSTON DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz (1 x 8GB)
1TB 3.5" SATA-III 6GB/s HDD 7200RPM 32MB CACHE

the cpu you have chosen is not suitable to fit a dedicated gpu, the apu cpu you selected is a good choice if you don't plan to add a dedicated gpu.
