When i decided to build a pc i was not going to get s dedicated graphics card so i went with an amd a10 APU. I then started to play video games and realized the apu wasn't good enough. So i got at gtx 660. I get major fps lag after playing for 2 hours and have to restart. My cpu usage is usually at 40-60 %.
 
Solution
In more cpu heavy games, the apu would bottleneck the gtx 660 slightly.

If you're getting frames drops after 2 hours of gameplay, it's more likely its a heat issue or something. What is your PSU?

I have a 430 watt PSU, now that i think of it the heat seems like it is the problem. My pc is on the top floor and that is where all the heat is. It is also very hot outside. I normally sweat a little when playing games.My A/C is broken at the moment also.
