AMD Trinity APU for low end home workstation

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello folks.
I'm building a budget home workstation to allow my wife to fiddle a bit on her office stuff from home (she is on maternity leave and would like to get away from nappys and toddlers for a few hours a week).
Their design office had been using Nemetschek before, and i had good experience with an AMD PhenomII X4 setup to run it. They have recently migrated to AC.
I'm about to upgrade the machine at home to the new AMD A10-5800k with the built in Trinity APU (this is practically the same as the FirePro A320), running on SSD and 8GB of DDR3 RAM. The target is to build a small footprint low cost and low noise setup to run AC16. Therefore I'd like to avoid using a discrete graphic card as these processors have the most sophisticated built-in GPUs.

Anyone got experience on these so far? Any feedback appreciated.
Thanks
Tamas
