You can add a large GPU and still see good performance improvements. Maybe look toward a GTX 960 or R9 280 / 285. Yes... your CPU will hold you back a bit, but the larger GPU is a very welcome upgrade and you will see much better graphics performance. About the only thing you can do is to overclock after installing an aftermarket CPU cooler (if you haven't already) to help the AMD APU stretch its legs a bit. Read through the guide thoroughly before starting...
