Nope, you can just pop in an i7 7700 when you want to upgrade, by the way, skip the i5 line, you won't see that much improvement over a G4560, you're better off with the extra threads.

I would rather pay more for the PSU because my current PSU is generic... maybe its the reason why my A4-6300 died

The intel side is "mutch" faster on a single and dual core performance base while the AMD is "slightly" faster on multicore performance base.
The intel side is using never tech compared to the amd

So around the same performance depending on what work load you are putting on the system give or take.

Paired with a GTX750Ti for Gaming and Multimedia what's better?

APUs are extremely outdated, and the integrated CPU isn't good.
If you want a good PSU, the VS450 is bottom of the barrel, I recommend something at least half decent like the Coolermaster Masterwatt Lite, or a Thermaltake Bronze rated unit. They're not great, but the availability for budget PSUs in the Philippines is poor.

I like intel... but in this case I would say AMD

Reason:
Packs more CPU cores,
Operates at higher base frequency,
Supports AVX / F16C / FMA3 / XOP instructions,
Allows simple overclocking, something the intel can`t.

On the minus side:
Reduced memory bandwidth and requires more power than the intel

No, not necessarily.
Clock speeds, IPC (Instructions per clock), architecture, and various other factors have big impacts. It mostly comes down to threads and the first two I mentioned there.
The APU's actual CPU has terrible IPC and is very poor performing.
Get the G4560.

That means absolutely nothing, it performs significantly worse than the G4560, is way older, and OCing doesn't matter if performance is terrible. The G4560 also has boost clocks.
Raw numbers mean nothing, take the FX 8xxx processors for example, something like Ryzen has the same core count and lower clock speeds, yet performs better. These two things don't dictate everything.
