I was bored, so I picked some parts for a really cheap pc.

Are you going to be gaming or just office type stuff? For basic gaming below 1080p and realistically 720p gaming it should work fine at decent settings. However if you plan on 1080 at 60 FPS and buttery smooth preformace I would say this will not work with onbaord graphics.

 

With all my posts I like to include an example just incase you think I am pulling your chain or what not. Here is a link of last gens AMD APU running Saits Row @ 1024x768 which is not even worth playing and the FPS are as follows.

 

22-28 FPS on Medium settings at again 1024x768. I understand that this gen will prolly be much better but I would dare to say it will be playable with any current game title in recent years.

 

 

Here is Borderlands 2 at 1080p and its 30+ FPS but never a buttery smooth 60 FPS which is what is needed for a truely happy gamer.

 

 

In closing I say this... If you are going to game go dedicated graphics even something monior with 1GB VRAM will make a difference. Here is one for $89 bucks. Good luck

I actually have the core 1000 right here. I guess I just didn't know how big the 212's are. The main use of this system would be checking Emails, internet browsing, and some Sims gaming (which would make sense as this processor comes with sim city)  by my sister. I wanted to go with AMD because I want to see what it is like to use an APU.  I would also have another overclockable system to tinker with.
