A nice option for the money, one of the best deals.

The processor is perfect for the money. it is definitely worth taking it or others from the APU line if you want to play toys of past years and so that nothing slows down anywhere, without dancing with a tambourine for minimal money. for modern games, the video part is rather weak, but the processor part is strong and pulls out powerful modern video cards.
if you have an old system on socket 775, then this will be a powerful upgrade.
be sure to take a motherboard based on the A88X chipset (it makes no sense to take the cheapest, expensive one).
do not believe the reviewers-collectors who shout with foam at the mouth that the i3 is much better. they never took apu in their hands. even this A8 is calmly doing i3 Haswell. Windows works better and fps more on the same video card. Oh, and IT'S CHEAP!
but if you want to assemble a good budget gaming system (it is also possible in stages if you have a video card for a while), it is better to take one of the latest athlones, an overclocking mother with serious power and radiators, memory with a frequency of 1600 or 1866 (less freezes than with high frequencies) and add a gtx 960 4gb level video card. it will still come out much cheaper than on i3, and the power will be like that of i5

Pros

1) the most productive option for your money among all Intel and AMD processors 2) more productive than i3 even of the latest generations (compared with Haswell, and Skylake is not more powerful), compared to older generations - heaven and earth 3) almost falls short of i5, the average user will not notice the difference 4) performance for home and office is enough for five years 5) really powerful built-in video, a similar discrete video card will cost 4-5 thousand 6) very cheap for such performance, any comparable combination will be at least 2 times more expensive 7) Unlocked multiplier for overclocking, easy to chase 8) 4 cores, high frequencies 9) the best combination of price / performance for its line 10) perfectly reveals a 4-gigabyte gtx 960, I think c 970 should also cope 11) smart power consumption: low frequency no load, high frequency under load 12) dual graphics, you can buy a video card for a couple of thousand and increase gaming performance by 20-50%. the mode can be turned on and off programmatically at any time 13) pulled AC Unity, COD Adwanced Warfare

Cons

1) relatively hot, on a boxed cooler in games it heats up to 105 and is cut down. coolers for 1500-2022 cope 2) throttling up to 3GHz, even if you crack, in any video-dependent application 3) overclocking loses its meaning due to throttling 4) video is weak for games from the end of 15 years. AC Syndicate and The Witcher are not playable 5) dual graphics is implemented in such a way that it would be better not to have it at all. power consumption with it exceeds 400 watts. in one game it works and shows a good increase, in another it does not let you start at all, you have to switch 6) dead end socket. nowhere to move on. it is pointless to take more powerful options on this socket because of the discrepancy between a small increase in performance and serious investments
