Hello! I currently am running with a very old desktop that uses what I believe is a gpu and cpu combined, the amd a8-5500 apu. Since 2015-2016 newer games have really been giving me trouble and or are unplayable (fallout 4, overwatch, witcher 3) My question, and this may sound dumb so I apologize. If my chip is an apu, and I want to replace it would I need to get both a gpu and cpu? Also, would it be more or less beneficial to just get a newer better apu instead.
If anybody has any recommendations or if you need anymore information from me this is all im doing this weekend. I plan on getting new parts for this I just have no clue what to get. I dont exactly have the cash to just buy a new system.
Thanks in advance !
