So I have this APU and was wondering is there a way that i can pair it with a GTX 560 and get the 560 to do most of the work. I had an r7 260 and at load it was only using 50%. I don't really wanna git rid of it but more if just use the Dedicated card and not create a bottleneck and play most on my games on high or ultra 1080p

The GTX 560 is not a lot better than the R7 260. I would look at the GTX 760 or 660 instead, or even an R9 270 or 750 Ti would do the job.

You're welcome! What's your power supply and the rest of the build? Also, your budget? Let's figure this out.

300 is PLENTY. At 1080p, it doesn't take much to get high to ultra settings, and this would do wonderfully:

Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon R9 270 2GB WINDFORCE Video Card ($149.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $149.99

Or, used, from a better brand and for only $100:

Both are excellent graphics cards, and I would get the used one simply because the price is so low and it is a great brand. It will work well with your current build, even though your power supply isn't ideal.

You will be gaming easily on Ultra at 1080p.

Hope that helps :)
