N2,
You can also check out my post #24 as that's one of the APU and mobo combo's.
Right you are linnemeyerhere, problem was I didn't know anything about "APUs" at the time!
No external SATA port though, need that.
I did however find this one at NewEgg.....
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-A75M-UD2H FM1 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

StarTech PEXESAT32 PCIe Controller Card - 2 Port, eSATA at TigerDirect
This is what I use only mine is a discontinued ASUS version of the same thing, then I use a similar one for (2) USB 3.0's.
I found this...
Newegg.com - Open Box: ASUS F1A75-V PRO FM1 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
It's an ASUS board with USB 3.0 and eSATA. I think I might look into that to see if it's a decent board. I haven't used one of these boards personally for a build.
Newegg.com - AMD A4-3400 Llano 2.7GHz Socket FM1 65W Dual-Core Desktop APU with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD 6410D AD3400OJGXBOX
This here is a dual core APU, it's a lower end APU though. I figure that would be ample enough for a decent puter. I think I actually used this for a build a few weeks ago. It's rather decent I would say. Paired with your current graphics card, it would be fine.
