I believe that you will need more RAM if you have an APU as the APU uses the DDR3 RAM for its RAM... if that makes any sense.

 

Basically, APU = More RAM needed

It doesn't need more RAM necessarly

An APU benefits more from having faster RAM than more

gtx 650 would out perform an apu however the new richland apu's are very good on a budget and would probably out perform an old gpu like a 460 or something.

how does a gtx 650 stack up against the 6600k apu 8750 graphics

 

GTX 650 would out perform the APU Onboard GPU by a significant margin.

Not necessarily. I'm sure that the Onboard GPU on the richland would outperform a 610. 

Who knows what is in store for future APU's
