Building A new computer have questions

[stems&seeds]

I'm in the process of a build. I have a MSI Z77A-GD55 MOBD. With a EVGA Ge Force GTX 570 HD 1280 MB GDDR5 Dual PCI Express 2.0 DVI/HDMI/Display Port SLI Ready Graphics Card. I'm getting ready to purchase the CPU. My GTX-570 will blow the doors off of integrated CPU graphics. I'm only asking because its a bit cheaper by 13$. So which to get that's the question...Any thoughts.. I as going to get the one with the integrated GPU and just disable it.


Intel Core i5-2550K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Without IGP BX80623i52550K....243$

Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I53570K ..230$​

IME.... (25 years... though integrated GPU's haven't been around 'that' long) it's usually better to get a board without a built in GPU, especially if you're interested in top performance.

There are a lot of boards that allow you to disable the on-board GPU but the architecture still has issues with it disabled. It's nice as an emergency backup... but better to have a second, inexpensive, drop-in card as a backup instead.

Stay Safe!

He is referring to the CPU not the mother board .

some of the new Intel & AMD cpus has built in gpus.

I would get the Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge, less power consumption & less heat.

i think ivy bridge runs a bit hotter than sandy bridge, especially if you overclock. but might as well get the newest architecture...

ivy bridge > sandy bridge

77w vs 95w ivy bridge runs cooler

Go with the i5 3570K

Yeap... missed that one.

Still, the suggestion still stands... get the one without the GPU. For the same reasons. heheh

Stay Safe!
