Will this boost my gaming experience ?

Hi ! My specs are now:

AMD A10-5800K
ASRock FM2A85X Extreme 4
Gigabyte GTX 760
8GB Ram 1600 Mhz

And I thinked about something like this:

AMD Athlon X4 860K
Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H
And from the computer that im using now the graphics card and ram

Thanks for the answers

There is no reason for this move, the cpu portion of the apu is pretty much the same as the athlon, and no reason to swap board, if your going with a new board and cpu look at a gigabyte 970 ud3, or ud3p or asus m5a97 r2 and a fx 6300 or an intel equivalent.

If anything the athlon has a better overclocking potential as there is no igpu built in like the apu. that apu is still a good overclocker, and performer and as i said no reason to do a upgrade that will most likely not improve performance.

Also if u want to go intel and wont be overclocking look at a $100 motherboard like the asus h97 pro gamer, and a xeon 1231 v3, which will run you maybe $370. the xeon is pretty much a i7 with no integrated gpu and still has 4 cores with HT for 8 threads @ 3.5ghz for around $260

That depends.

Which games do you intend on playing and on which level of graphical detail?
