I have an A6 6400K bought from a friend for dirt cheap, it has no discrete gpu, generic 500W PSU. I wanna game a little like the titles LoL, DoTA 2, Killing Floor 2, and maybe GTA V, I've set my eye for the latest no 6pin pcie card of NVidia the GTX 1050TI, and i have no plan on buying a PSU. Question now is will the apu not bottleneck the gpu, and would be just right with the APU? Still gaming at a 720p monitor.
(I know the card benchmarks isn't out yet just speculations of what it can do)
 
Solution
Sounds like the best solution for your situation (if you can wait). The 1050/1050 Ti will be the fastest card out that does not require a 6-pin connection. With the AMD dual core, you may occasionally run into some CPU bottleneck if you game on busy servers (where the CPU has extra work to perform). But I would still take the 1050 Ti over a slower card.

for gta5 you are going to want a 4 core

the a6 is minimum to run killing floor 2, so dont expect amazing fps
