So my GPU runs hot and my computer has lost a lot of performance in it's almost 4yr run. I was thinking of upgrading my computer or rebuilding it.
I was Thinking of getting the new Kaveri APU with R7 Radeon graphics

Gets my order about $379 ish i could get it to $340 with the slower cpu and only 4 gigs of ram but under $400 is looking good to me.
I have a 750w Fatal1ty PSU from OCZ only 1 yr old, and a case with 4x fans installed.
A 6Gbs 7200 RPM Seagate HD to go in as well.
Wanted some feed back on what you guys think of this combination mostly on the APU as far as performance. I like having a integrated video card in case your standalone burns up or flakes out, but this sounds like a built in card that may be as good or slightly better then my Gtx 275 and let me go a little longer before buying the vid card i.e. giving me time to save up for a even better card.
I think this would be about the same or slightly better graphics on this Integrated APU vs my 4yr old GTX 275. I could then get by a bit cheaper on my initial build and buy a standalone GPU down teh road.
Your advice is greatly appreciated!
