I want to upgrade my pc and at the moment im using an intel motherboard
The thing is the core i3 is a quad core at 3.5GHz set for about $170 but the A6-6400K is a 3.9GHz dual core overclockable up to almost 5GHz for about $77 but ill also have to buy a amd motherboard priced at $57 total $134

Wich is wiser for gaming atleast for watch dogs?
*I also have a nvidia GT750 1G*

Just a minor correction...

The Core i3-3250 is a 3rd generation Ivy Bridge CPU (socket 1155). It is not a 4th generation Haswell CPU (socket 1150).

The A6-6400K is really cheap for a reason. It is one module dual core. Good for an HTPC, email and surfing the web. That is about it. To take advantage of the APU you need fast ram on top of it.

No the APU is to allow you to use the integrated graphics instead of a card. Lower performance and cost more for word processing machines.
