Should I use my discrete video card or the graphics from my onboard APU? (the GT 520 has 2gb dedicated, and the AMD has 512 mb) ..... whats your opinion?

The 7560D performs a fair bit better, amount of video memory has nothing to do with actual performance
The only thing that'll affect the speed of your APU is the speed/frequency of your installed RAM

well I DO know this

CPU - AMD A8 5600k APU Quad
GPU - Geforce GT 520
MOBO - BIOSTAR A55ML2
MEMORY- 6 gb ( all ddr3 1 2gb chip 1 4gb , NB Freq 1497.2 Mhz / DRAM Freq 665.5 Mhz)

so should I take out the 520 and use the intergrated? would it prove better performance and graphics in game?

here is the CPUz report of my memore (notice 2 dif sizes a 2gb and a 4 gb)

Yep, just use the 7560D, it performs better

On a side note, mixing memory sizes will not allow the memory to run in dual channel mode and reducing memory bandwidth and performance of the system.

ok sir ... 1 more question.. that will mean I have to switch from DVI to VGA :/  .... good or bad? and also if I take gpu out will the mobo recognize the apu's graphics immediately or do i have to install or do anything

Replace DIMM1 with another 4GB unit.

The GPU within the AMD APU will perform a lot better, as it can shift data back and forth quicker.

ok and all I have to do is remove the 520 and the mobo will run the integrated automatically? and doing this i have to switch from DVI to VGA.. is this still a better option to do?

Your motherboard doesn't have a DVI port for the integrated graphics? You'd have to uninstall the driver for the 520 and install drivers for the 7560D if you went for it. Since your RAM is only in single channel mode right now and you're comfortable using the 520, might as well stay with that for now.

no it doesnt it is a BIOSTAR A55ML2 :/  only 50$ ... also what does single channel mode mean O.o .... my computer says 6 gigs installed and since I put the 2gb chip in its quite faster... js lol
