If you have a discrete card then get an Athlon X4 860K. Otherwise the A8 is much better for Integrated graphics and CPU performance.

So i have palit geforce gtx750ti
Motherboard is fm2a68m-HD
8gb ram
So dual core or quad core?

Also i can have the fm2+ richland a6-6400k which is 3.9ghz dual core

I only have limited budget

Does ghz matter in gaming or the core does?

You will want the quad core. Games are going to start getting more multithreaded, and the dual core won't cut it at that point. They really don't now. As suggested above, look at the Athlon x4 860k if possible. It may be cheaper and should fit the socket, and is a quad, just does not have the integrated graphics. If you can't get that, get the a8. But with already having the 750ti, you won't be using the built in graphics on the apu.

Always go for more cores if you can afford it.

Even web browsing benefits from having more cores, although to a certain extent.

Yes you'd still want the quad imo. The apu won't perform as well as a discreet card, so you'll want to upgrade at some point if you are wanting to do gaming. Imo, no point in a dual core for gaming anymore. Some guys like the pentium cpus, but I'd prefer at least a quad.
