I am building an HTPC no gaming and Have nothing on my hardware list yet But I don't know if I should get an APU which does CPU and GPU task or if I should get both and split the task or if I can rely on only a CPU
 
Apu is amd's term and with the age and performance, I wouldn't use an apu. At least not til I see what zen does. Since there is no gaming anyways, it's not like you need a better igpu or gpu. You're other thread mentioned z170 but you won't need that nor need to spend more since you can finder cheaper chipsets. Maybe you should make a thread filling this out. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/353572-31-build-upgrade-advice
