Save your money and jump to either Ryzen or Coffee Lake with a 1050Ti or 1060(assuming prices come down).

 

If you're really desperate, find out if your motherboard supports FM2+ CPUs. If it does, get an Athlon X4 860K and look into a used 750Ti.

I'd at least try to save up for an R3 chip/board and a GT1030, because even the GT1030 is in a totally different solar system for performance compared to the one built into your A6.

Are any of the other APUs for FM2 worth anything?  Asking, I don't know myself.  Just looking for the cheapest way to upgrade.

What do you want to do with it? If it's just a machine for YouTube and homework, there's not really a point to spend money on upgrading.
