Hey guys I dunno if I'm wasting my money here I have an asus f2a85-v pro with a amd a10-6800k and 8gb ddr3 -1866 , I do not game at all (which is why I went with the APU) but I love pc's and building them and I just want to keep adding shit to it, I don't do any video editing or anything so I know any more ram I put in would be a waste of money, so I wound up getting an Radeon had 7770 core edition xfx video card, it was on sale so I got it, I know any sort of high end video card would be even a bigger waste of money. So the question is , now that I have the video card will it free up some of my processing power at all? Or did I just waste money? Lol I don't know what else I can add to this PC, already have a 125 gb Samsung ssd with a 1tb HD, and a 1.5 external toshiba hdd.

You basically just wated money, it will work just fine with the computer but it won't do anything to make the rest of the computer noticeably faster. It will now get moar fps during facebook sessions :)
