I think it was unfortunate to buy an apu if you ever wanted to upgrade.
You have no real good cpu upgrades for your motherboard.
A $150 A10-7890K would give you some improved cpu capability.
Your current A6-5400K has a passmark rating of 2132 and a single thread rating of 1311.
A A10-7890K would have a rating of 5758 and a single thread rating of 1709.
The single thread performance is what most games need.
You buy a APU for the excellent integrated graphics.
But, there are no real good upgrades, particularly for a gamer.
If you install a superior discrete graphics card, you will have thrown away the big advantage of the APU.
Then, you are left with a relatively weak cpu. Most games depend on only a few fast cores.
The possible upgrades are to more cores, but few games will use more than 2-3 cores so more cores are not very helpful.
Bottom line.....
What you get with a APU is what you will live with forever.

What is your budget?

If you were to buy an Intel G4620 for $93, a $50 lga1151 motherboard and a 8gb ddr4 ram kit for $35 you would be spending about the same $.
The G4620 will have a rating of about 6000 and a single thread rating of 2200.
More importantly, the same motherboard can support a future upgrade to I3, I5, up to even a I7-7700K.

Actually sir, im planning to switch to Intel. What is the best processor between I3-6100 or G4620? It will take months for me to buy a new processor,motherboard and ram but i think that is worth it so i will just wait patiently.
