Would it be totally dumb, if I made a cheap computer with a Kaveri apu when I'm still 13 years old and played games like overwatch. I would add a graphics card when i'm older and wanna play more demanding games. Would the apu be smart to have even with the graphics card or should I upgrade/downgrade to a cpu.
