APU to Nvidia Card

[Treyhu2014]

I have mainly best an Intel builder, but I have recently tried to put together an extremely entry level gaming PC for around $400.

Specs:
AMD A6-6400K APU 3.9ghz
Asus A55BM-E
EVGA GTX 660
Roswell 650 Simi-Modular 80 plus Bronze PSU
4 GB G.skill low profile memory

I was wondering, do I have to download the APU drivers for it to work correctly or is it going to bottleneck my GPU. I first installed the 660 in my main rig to see if it worked. Tried out only CS:GO and it run great. Now its about 30-60 fps on the low profile rig. I knew there would be a great step down, going from a overclocked 4790K to a dual core APU, but CS really isn't a demanding game. In fact, I tried the game on just the APU integrated GPU and it looks like it runs the same. Anyone have any advice of what I should do?

Pretty bad idea to get an APU like this. They are only made to use if you ain't gaming or using a dedicated GPU. For a build with gtx 660 you should have bought something like 860k at least. And CS is a CPU intensive game that is your bottleneck.

Well, I built this system like 2 years ago and gave it to a friend. They bought some new parts recently and it is was it it is now.

Oh yeah then well, not much you can do. This CPU is pretty much the bottom of the hierarchy at the moment.
