I currently have the GPU in my current build but want to reuse it when I upgrade my Computer to a APU but want to know if it will be compatible with dual Graphics since site only talks about there recommended.
 
Solution
If you are interested in power efficiency, look at Intel haswell cpu's
The comparably priced i3-4150 is a 54w unit and will outperform the FX-6300 85w cpu in most games.
For graphics power efficiency, look at the new Maxwell graphics cards.
If you already have a discrete card, you will not get an upgrade with a apu.
The value of an apu is the superior graphics, not the cpu.
Once you add a discrete graphics card, you negate the value of the apu.

What is your current build, and what do you need to improve with an upgrade?

For a while I've been considering waiting for a GTX 960 Since it should have a lower tdp and I don't need DSR at 4k for my needs but difference seems like a nice upgrade, for the cpu I may go with an i3/i5 depending on current deals thx.
