What model is your power supply? What card of the R7 200 series do you have?

A link to the system you bought would work. You could also use [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] to give us more details, but the power supply does not interface with the computer with software, so you will have to look inside to see what you have if it's not specified.

What's your budget? R7 250, and most likely a cheap, poor quality PSU. You'll want to replace the GPU fo sho, and most likely the PSU. Take the side panel off your case and look for a sticker on the PSU with the make and model.

The PSU on the computer you linked OP is a cheap, poor quality, no name brand 350W PSU, one cyberPower just throws in there because they can.

Definitely upgrade the PSU and GPU whenever you can. The R7 will definitely get you by for a while though so it's completely fine to skip that.
