I was gifted a starting gaming rig from my girlfriend. She doesnt know a whole lot about computers, (see's bigger numbers and assumes they are the best) I love the system, but I am looking to put a dedicated video card into it. My motherboard is an Asus a88x-pro, and I currently have an a10-6800k fimming my cpu slot. I'm looking at an FX chip, I'm just wondering if it will work

As said, you need a different board for the FX line. Your current CPU isn't bad at all, you could probably add a mid-grade GPU to the rig and be just fine, or you could go with the hybrid crossfire setup since the drivers for that are fixed now.
