Just quick question. Do you used the processor's GPU or do you have a separate video card. If you have separate card which i presume you do why would you spend the extra money on a chip with GPU built in over just getting one without? Asking this as i havent built a gaming system in 3-4 years and dont really keep up with that kind of stuff. I usually just build cheap rigs for people that just need them for browsing the net and crap.

All the i5s and i7s have the on-die GPUs built into them.
The newer Haswell-E 6 and 8 core Intel CPUs don't.....but they run from $390 to $1000 for the CPU, $250+ for the cheapest 2011 socket motherboards, and they require the new DDR4 RAM which is absurdly expensive still (read: $400 for 16gb type of nonsense)
