Hey everyone.

So I've been given the task to build a basic home office computer for a family friend and I just need some help checking over the parts I've picked out. All this really needs to do is run simple programs like Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, as well as be able to browse the Web and watch videos on.

My main worry is the APU. I've got my doubts about it but surely it will serve fine in this kind of build, right?

Personally i'd get at least an A6 6400K.

No need for an A8... look at his requirements!

MICROSOFT WORD AT ALL OF THE FPS

It was an example, an A6 is probably better for him.
