Its has:

AMD A8-5500 with Radeon(tm) HD graphics (3.20 GHz)
4gb of ram DDR3 (3.5) usable because of integrated graphics. (only 2 slots)

On the motherboard it has
1 PCIe x16 slot
2 PCIe x1 slots

350W Power supply

You could put some more ram in and get better graphics card.

Can you give me any recommendations

I would upgrade the power supply, RAM and graphic card.

You need more Watt to feed a better Graphic card. Not that the new one will make the system use more then 350W, but a Pwersupply should never use over 80% of it's maximum capability.

1. It can damage the PSU and components.
2. The efficiency decreases a lot.

A bronze validated 600w Power supply would do wonders and increase the efficiency.
Get a complete new set of RAM. Mixing RAM is never a good idea.

Then the best Graphic card we can find for the rest of the budget.

I'll make a recommendation in a minute. I have to do something now. i am at work
