I have a A8 6600k, I know it has an integrated GPU although I dont use it (I have dedicated graphics card). Can I use the internal GPU to add to the normal processing power?

I didn't build this PC or I would've went with an i5 or soemthing, I know it's much better.

APU is not bad, it will smoke any intel/nvidia combos for the same budget. The problem is when you've got more money to spend, then the APU no longer becomes practical.

So you see, which CPU is good when and in which case is a matter of money more than its purpose. You made the mistake of assuming that it will be a more efficient course of action if you take an APU and then a GPU which is NOT supported for dual graphics. You have thrown away the APU's GPU part which you've paid for.

Learn from your mistake, this is all you can do.
