Hello,
My current Pc Specs Are:

CPU: Amd Athlon X4 760k
GPU: Radeon HD 7850 Black Edition 2GB
Motherboard: FM2-A55M-E33 AMD A55 chipset
Ram: 8GB

I was wondering if i would be able to upgrade to an A10-6800k since thats the best processor for my motherboard i think however its an APU so it has a inbuilt GPU. Would this cause any issues since i already have a dedicated gpu which is the HD 7850, that i am planning on upgrading later on in the future to the GTX 780.

Thanks.

Yes, you would be able to upgrade, and no it would not cause issues with your GPU.

However, should you upgrade? No. The differences between both processors are too small for me to recommend upgrading to it. As of now, you...

As of now, you should keep your money to upgrade to a new motherboard with DDR4, a new CPU and obviously new RAM, all at the same time. Even now, the X4-760k isn't much of a bottleneck for a 780 in gaming and should be fast enough to perform most of what you need it to.

Hope that helped,
