An APU for this use?
-
Hello.
I am looking to build a new computer. I currently have a 5-year-old laptop (P8400, 4gb ram) that is getting a bit slow and especially the small monitor.
The use will be 80% office work and the rest photo editing (Lightroom) and video editing (Pinnacle Studio). In these last two tasks, my current computer is not enough.
Games are not a priority at first, but who knows if I get bored and if there is something I like.I have thought about an APU A10 6800K, itx motherboard, 8gb ram. Keeping my two hard drives, a Crucial M4 SSD and a 1Tb HDD.
Another thing would be to wait for itx FM2+ motherboards to come out and later put a new cpu if it's interesting.Do you think it's correct for the use I'm going to give it or is it better to go for an AMD FX + graphics card or Intel i5 + graphics card?
About 450-500€ budget for the tower without hard drives.
Regards!

Something like this I had thought. Is it enough for the use I'm going to give it and that it lasts me at least 2-3 years without touching it much? Now my laptop defends itself, if in addition for office work it's more than enough.. but it's giving it some strain and it slows down a lot due to lack of CPU.
Or better to go for insurance and get CPU + graphics as Obione has put for in the future to be able to upgrade better? I don't think I'll need a powerful graphics card.Regards!!

for that money it's not bad, besides the A10 has very good graphics
AMD A10-6800K 4.10Ghz - integrated Radeon HD 8670D
the only thing would be to put more memory if you work with images, the rest is enough
the BitFenix Prodigy case is available in several different colors
