Hi,
Recently I completed my first build, and decided to go with an APU dual-graphics build. My specs here: http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/

I came to ask if there are any ways to improve performance of dual-graphics. If there are any bios tweaks or something that I can buy please recommend.

Also, I got a code to a discount on amd Radeon r7 performance RAM and I was wondering if buying more RAM of a different brand is worth it?

Your link to your build isn't working, it only shows the website default panel...

more RAM might come handy depending what you do, if its gaming only 8GB will suffice (more won't give a noticeable boost), for rendering and such the more the better.

The main thing one can do to improve hardware performance is to overclock it, sadly the APUs tend to heat quite fast when doing this because of their CPU/iGPU bundle thus limiting what one could achieve.

If you've already bought all of it then there's nothing much to do, you should be able to achieve a mild OC but maybe it won't give you a noticeable boost in performance.

However if you still haven't bought it, you could go with an Intel G3258 + H87 chipset mobo (this to stick with the budget you seem you're aiming at), that CPU can be OCed to high levels with a cheap aftermarket cooler giving you more performance than the APU you have listed.
