Will AMD A10 7860k be less powerful paired with NVIDIA GPU?

I was wondering if AMD APU will perform less if i paired it with NVIDIA GPU
I was planning to get GTX 1050 paired with AMD APU A10 7860k

If you don't already have that APU processor and you want to use that or discrete GPU, don't buy it, get Athlon x4 860k instead.
I don't know what you meant by "perform less if i paired it with NVIDIA GPU" but 1050 will outperform APU graphics with any processor as you can't use both at same time. Only CPU part will work when you install a discrete GPU so with that processor you end up as Athlon 860K anyway.

No it won't, you can mix and match the different CPU/GPU brands with no performance loss on either component. A GTX 1050 will run with a A10 just fine. Hope this helps

Do you already have both these components?

So the A10 will just work like the 860K as a CPU? i just asked because there is bundle of the motherboard i want to buy and A10 and its cheaper than buying seperate 860K and the mobo (ASUS A68HM-K)

Yes, on that APU it will be same thing, graphic part will be disabled but still usable should something happen to discrete GPU.
