Adding more RAM Memory and updating to the latest AMD APU Driver will definitely help in playing newer games especially if you are not using a GPU Card and just your integrated Graphics.

Found this Quora where Users post the type of games that works on their PC's with the A8-7600 APU: What are the best games for my PC with APU AMD A8 7600 (Quad Core, Integrated Radeon R7 graphics) an... 

This Gaming Website lets you know what games you can actually play depending on your PC requirements: Can You RUN It | Can I Run It | Can My PC Run It

thank you for the help, i will look into a gpu card

Make sure you have available a PCIe x 16 x 16/8 Motherboard slot. Some GPU cards are 2 slots wide.

Your Computer case is large enough for the latest GPU card to fit in.

But the most important hardware you need to make sure your PSU is powerful enough for the GPU card you might purchase in the future.

Also the APU processor, depending on the GPU card you get, may throttle your GPU card under load.

Just some things to consider when buying a GPU card.
