I want to do some gaming, with the APU. And the APU have GPU in it so it saves me some money. Im will to play games at a low or medium setting. And I will upgrade the components as time goes on. Please tell me what MoBo is good, and I will be doing some overclocking too.
Your help will be appreciated.

PS. I know this is not related but do you think I should get A10-7850k or 6800k. Remember I will not be getting GPU because I don't know what will go with the APU.

Depends, the 7850K isn't a good buy right now due to it's inflated cost, $160 USD would be more realistic instead of $190 USD. Are you able to wait for the A8-7600 / 7700? I've found that ASRock always makes solid low cost APU boards and since the whole purpose of...
For games, GPU matters more. Even a Haswell Pentium G with an HD 7750 is going to be better in games than any APU. I don't deny that the IGP has come a long way, but it still isn't where it needs to be. Had it at least reached HD 7750 levels of performance, I would have a different opinion on them. R7 240 performance just isn't good enough. LGA 1150 you have a CPU upgrade path to an i5 or 1230v3. (Locked i7's are pointless in a gaming rig.) Unless AMD pulls something out of nowhere, FM2+ has nothing to offer upgrade wise.
 
Which version of the 7750 are you referring to? The cheaper DDR3 variants are for more common for the 7750 then they are for the 7770, where GDDR5 is typically used. The iGPU inside the current crop of APU's is superior to the DDR3 7750 as it use's DDR3-1600. The current APU's are slightly slower then the GDDR5 variant.

Your bias has already been demonstrated, very little of what you say can be taken at face value.
