So i was searching for my new build then i came across a apu then i was wondering which one is better?

7600 + 240
OR
860K + 250x

Some apu's support crossfire with a dedicated gpu. It's like the poor mans crossfire. I wouldn't recommend it as its kind of useless, spending the extra money on a apu when you could just put the extra on your gpu.

cpu + gpu. The cpu in the apu is weaker and the integrated gpu is useless if you're going to use a discrete gpu anyway. On a side note I would recommend at least for a r7 260x for the gpu, and a r9 270x max to pair with that cpu.

Yes, you are getting a better value for your money if you just buy a normal cpu and gpu.

Typically its better to spend more on your gpu. the 250x is a little too low for my liking personally.

The 860K is a newer design that the 760K and quite a bit more powerful . Use the 860K

What gpu you pair it with depends on your budget and your power supply

The hybrid crossfire set ups with a low end graphics card and an APU are marginal . Too flakey and inconsistent performance means its not worth the effort IMO
