Hey guys, so I've just finish building my first gaming pc and it is working marvelous. I just want to make sure that I am getting the best out of my system. I have aN A10-6800K processor and is using the integrated amd radeon hd 8760d. My motherboard also have a built in graphics, amd radeon hd7000. Is it important to utilize both if thats possible or is just one good enough?

NO, since your IGP is HD 8670D (Not 8760D), it uses your integrated GPU 8670 instead of HD 7000 series 'cause u don't have HD 7xxx now. Only some very-entry level graphic cards like HD 6670 or 6570 can be boosting by this IGP. (This is called AMD Dual Graphics but the performance isn't as high as advertised, a HD 7750 can kill them easily)

So I notice that it said it has integrated radeon hd7000 in a-series. Not sure what that entitles me to, but I do know that my A10-6800K Proccessor is amd radeon 8760d for sure and that is what my device manager says too. I'm assuming the motherboard boost performance in graphics card utilizing the radeon 7000 series. Am I assuming correctly? Thanks
