So I have this build:
A6-6400K
ga-f2a55m mobo
500w cougar psu
And I wanted to upgrade my performance in games like dota 2 and LoL, though the apu is doing a great job at medium settings. I'm planning to disable the integrated graphics and wanted to max out particularly these 2 games, and i heard that the hd 7770 will do the job.
Will the apu which has dual core bottleneck the gpu?
this is my first thread.
responses will be appreciated. thanks :D

The 7770 will help in most cases but any cpu intensive game will still drag your FPS down. I probably wouldn't go any higher than a 7770 because with that weak of a cpu it will always be your weak link, even if you got a R9 290 your FPS would pry be barely better than the 7770
