Hello i have an A-10 7700k and i want to upgrade to the newest A-10 7890k APU, im gona pair the APU with a GTX 960 video card, i want to know how much performance increase their will be and i want to know if their will be any bottle-necking, thanks

There will be next to no performance difference. APUs are not ideal when you have a discrete card in the first place, and there is minimal difference in upgrading from an A-10 to an A-10.
If you want to upgrade your processor you need to make a platform jump to something like Skylake.

Agreed. Moving from one CPU to another similar CPU won't get you anything. You need to upgrade your entire system. Swapping out the CPU for another A10 won't change anything in a way you can feel.

i want to know if upgrading to the higher end APU will remove thge slight bottleneck i get when playing cpu demanding games.

No, there is little difference.

No difference means it won't help. Certainly not worth the money.
