so i have a A10 6800k processor and i know it has integrated graphics but i also have a r7 260x 2gb graphics card and i was thinking of buying another one to cross fire them and i wanted to know if it was worth it and if the integrated graphics would affect performance

The iGPU will be inactive if you use a dedicated graphics card. If you already have the R7 260x then you may as well crossfire it but you should know that it's probably a better idea to just get an R9 270 or something like that.

by crossfiring you'll get like 30-50% increase in performance but be warned, amd crossfire drivers aren't very good

RAM speed doesn't affect gaming once you're not using the integrated gpu. If you use the iGPU, it has to use the RAM as it's video memory so faster memory is required.

Hi
first of alll i as a amd fan believe crossfire could be more useful regard to your card specifications.
i believe crossfire of high end cards (not the most high ends) such as R(-270 - 270X - 280 - 280X ) with exactly two same cards can increase your performance up to (%70 -%85) but in addition to cards , ability of other parts like mainboard , cpu performance , and ... are also important also i think cross for more than 2 cards its waste of money and it never worth it
therefor i suggest you should change your card because even cross of two r7-260X wont help so much but cross of two R9-270 would be quit much better but as i said your main B performance and specifications are important too. for instance:
990fx mains support @16+@16=32 lane's for PCI-E2 ( in case of cross ) but 990 gx or other similar boards give you @8+@8=16 lane's of PCI-E2
and int towice difference in bandwith.
at last as other guys said changing ram and upgrading it its more useful for graphic useages
