I was thinking about getting an Asus nvidia geforce gtx 760 but i have an AMD A8-5600k, would it run ok? like good, or is my cpu shitty? because when i bought it. they said it was a good gaming cpu, which i kinda think is bullshit.

Ah, that is a rather low end board and you may run into trouble with overclocking.
Right now I'm thinking you should get a 750ti instead of a 760, it would be a better match and would save you some cash. Your A8 isn't the worst CPU out there, it's a reasonable budget chip but the GPU side is really weak

Well, would it run alright with my motherboard and cpu? because a year down the line, i'll end up upgrading my motherboard too and i just looked up, there is a big difference in the 750ti and 760. i'd rather get the better of the two, just so i'll be ready when i do upgrade my motherboardYeah it will run fine, but your CPU will hold back performance in some games.
What PSU do you have? As the 760 requires about 170w of power on its own, whereas the 750 Ti only needs 60w. The 750 Ti might be a better option if your PSU sucks.

I will be buying this with it 'Corsair Builder Series CXM 600W Modular 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX/EPS PSU' I'm buying the PSU and GPU Together, and at the moment i have a RadeonHD 6450 GPU so if the 760 holds back for a while it can't be as bad as the radeon hd 6450 when its not getting held back, trust me, being a pc gamer (well trying to be) anything is an upgrade when you've lived with that for like a year
I'm also in the UK

Yes the 760 would be a huge upgrade regardless of bottleneck!
I would recommend the following 550w PSU over the 600w corsair:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 760 2GB DirectCU II Video Card (£173.99 @ CCL Computers)
Power Supply: XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply (£46.93 @ CCL Computers)
Total: £220.92
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Ok, so i saw this video and it says the gtx 760 takes up 2 gpu slots? but i've seen the gpu it's self and it looks like it only has one?? would it fit into a Gigabyte Ga-F2a55M-ds2?It definitely takes up two slots, so it would cover the pcie x1 slot on your mobo but yes it will still fit

If you plan to get a new motherboard, I would consider changing to an intel platform (H81 tends to be the cheapest) and a i3 or i5, then no overclocking would be necessary to get the most out of your GTX 760.Yeah I agree with this actually. OP, just stick with your current mobo until you can afford a new CPU as well. The A8 goes up to 3.9ghz boost and overclocking would get you a 10-20% performance boost over that, not worth the investment. You should be able to get a small OC out of your current motherboard regardless.
Your A8-5600k may hold the gtx760 back a bit (this is entirely game and situation dependant) but it's not like things would be terrible for you. 99% of games out there you would get 30+fps which is fine and playable, and you would even get 60+fps on many games as well. Get the 760 and just enjoy, save your money until you can upgrade proper

Try to play with the tv settings (full, auto, 16:9 etc) and the nvidia control panel settings (scaling settings in 'adjust desktop size and position') and see if you can improve it
