Proportionality my friend. Lets not send tanks against pickpocketers. And by that I mean they have no need for that kind of power, and never will, so "the more the better" doesn't work here.

You're got it right. For casual builds, an APU from AMD is very nice. No need to buy a GPU, plus you're getting a pretty nice quad core CPU. 

 

So yeah that wouldn't be a bad decision.
