Hi guys! Im asking this because I got an a10+HD6670. Im planning on buying a GTX 680. I know it will cause a bottleneck because the GTX 680 is a high end card. I'm buying a GTX 680 now because maybe after several months im going to replace my a10 for an i7-3770k. And I just want my current games now to improve their fps because of the GTX 680 while waiting for the i7-3770k. So heres my question:

which will have better FPS? my a10 now which have the HD 6670?
or my a10 + the GTX 680?

all comments and criticisms are welcome here.. LOL
I just need your opinions on this.. THANKS!!

yes it would. Dual graphics with hd 6670 and the a10 5800k will get you hd 7750 performance

You say you are going to upgrade to an i7 later, i suggest going for an i3 + h77/z77 (depending on overclocking) now and using the onboard graphics or buying a cheap card (7770/7790) then getting an i7 and gtx 680 later.
