You should not buy the dedicaed card.

Ther were a couple different GPUs that could pair with the APUs (7750 and 7770, possibly a few more), but they had frame pacing issues and were limited by the APU, and were the DDR3 version of the cards rather than the faster DDR5 versions. Having 2 GPUs otherwise just means that you either pick the onboard graphics or you use dedicated...

For that price, I don't think the power supply is going to be very good

You're much better putting those $30 into a decent power supply. If a powersupply fails, there's a chance that it breaks hardware too. Better power supplies have a lower chance of failure and a higher chance of shutting down before damaging other hardware.
