This APU is perfect for a home office. APU combines CPU and GPU into a single chip, so no graphics card is required. This APU will use 2GB of your system RAM as a graphics memory (as long as you don't use a video card), so make sure you get enough RAM for your build. When a video card is installed, and monitor is not connected to APU motherboard port, all of the system ram is available. It's easy to overclock this chip to about 4GHz with voltage increase to about 1.4V. While the stock heat sink is included, I have installed a bigger one that I already had for a nearly silent operation. It works well with ddr4 3200 MHz in XMP profile, but probably it does not benefit much from RAM faster than 2666 MHz. I have tried, out of curiosity to run some benchmarks and games. It is capable to run newer games at almost 60 frames per seconds at 720p with low settings. If you want to play games with this APU, spend $40 on eBay for a used video card and you will get 6-7 times faster game performance.
