So, my PC I use has a APU, its only a pre-built shitty one, however, I am wanting to upgrade the graphics card on it, as some games won't run with this one. Is it possible to add a graphics card, but leave the APU in it. Or would I need to buy a new CPU and graphics card?

If this doesn't make much sense, just say and I will try make more sense.

Thanks!

ya you can just buy a graphics card as long as the power supply is big enough to power it also make sure the new graphics card isn't bottle necking the apu we can suggest a graphics card for you if we know your budget, currency and full system specs

Will more than likely need a new PSU before you can add a GPU. Might need a new case too. Any higher end GPU would obviously be a waste with an APU, so you'd be looking at something lower end, unless you were going to upgrade to a decent CPU in the foreseeable future.
