So my computer currently has the a8, and I have an Asus HD 6670 1gb card. I was going to sell my current PC to my younger bros but keep the GPU and build a better system for myself. Is it worth it. PS, I'm not buying another GPU

Well you have a somewhat strange situation here because the integrated GPU on the A8 is not too far off the 6670 (especially if you're running 1866 ram). So even if you build another rig with a 750k and the 6670, you're really not gaining much in terms of gaming performance.

The majority of gaming performance is in the GPU, not the CPU. So the whole point of building another rig with a 750k would be to allow you to run a much stronger discreet GPU.

So if you want to build another system for yourself with the 750k for gaming, I suggest you buy a more powerful GPU for that setup (what ever is the best that fits your budget).

Leave the 6670 with the A8 and try setting it up in dual-graphics mode with the on-board IGPU. It might provide a nice boost in gaming performance. If it doesn't, then leave it as is.
