11. Anything else which you would like to say?
My current graphics card might have died (still awaiting news from my service guy). I plan to buy a mid-range graphics card after 3-4 months; as such would like to know if going for an AMD APU for a decent graphics performance while I get a new card, is a better idea vs getting an entry level GPU now.
