Which socket are those? I am completely out of the loop with AMD stuff. I am not opposed to APUs but I am heavily biased against them, so it needs some solid convincing. It has the gigantic upside of not needing 2 PCIE slots, which is a rare commodity on mini ITX.
Ok, scratch that. Apparently mini ITX with 2x PCIE doesn't even exist. That complicates things. I I will have to go either mATX or internal GPU. Or scratch the sound card. How "upcoming" are these APUs? Because I want to start building right now.

That defeats the purpose. Splitting gaming from everything else has more benefits than just eliminating interfering components. And even if, there is no hardware right now that would be a significant enough upgrade to warrant a new build.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
