Will an AMD processor work with a GeForce GTX 760?

[linus1]

So I'm going to upgrade my CPU from an AMD Athlon X4 740 Quad Core 3.2 GHz to a AMD A-Series A10-6800K 4,1 GHz.

Will it work with my grapics card? or is an intel processor the way to go?

It will work just fine. No problems at all.

Why wouldn't it?

What you may want to consider is, instead of an A10, get the Athlon X4 860K. Since you're planning on using a discrete GPU, it doesn't matter that the Athlon doesn't have integrated graphics, plus it'll be cheaper.

It will but instead of a10 get fx 6300 .

FX-6300 won't work; that's a Socket AM3+ CPU, & those Athlon X4/A-series APUs are Socket FM2+. Completely incompatible, you'd have to get a new motherboard.

That being said...the FX would be a better CPU, but again you'd have to buy a new motherboard, then backup your data & reinstall Windows.

FX isn't worth it and like you said, it's a dead end. Frankly, since you have a discrete card already, save some money and just jump to the 860K. It's as good or beats the APU and the FX in most things and it's cheaper than both.
