Budget PC stuff.

BrainOfCeleron

So, I'm using an AMD A6 6300k APU which is  a nice priced APU that competes with the Intel i3. My question is, should I get a GPU. If I did it wouldn't be anything amazing, something like a Zotac GeForce 610 or something like that. I wouldn't be using it for intense gaming, CS: GO mainly. Also, I don't have the best cooling system, a 120mm fan in the front and a 120mm fan at the back. So should? Maybe leave it for a few months, then get it?

Personally, I'd just stick to the APU for a while and upgrade to a discreet CPU and GPU setup later. If you add a GPU, you'll just essentially be throwing away the use of the graphics cores on your APU. Maybe toss a few dollars at your case to get it some more or better fans if you're worried about temps.

A 610 is WORSE than the graphics built into the APU you want like a 260x, 750ti or higher

Do you mean the 6400k?  There is no 6300k, iirc.  There's a 6300 A4, but that's it.  A 610 would actually be a downgrade from the integrated one with the 6400k.  I'd suggest going for an R7 250-R7 260x.  Used of either might be cheaper, and a lot more worth it.

Yeah sorry :P I did meant the AMD A6 6400k

 

And ok, I guess I'll be saving then, cause, I REALLY have a tight budget.
