No.

i have the same cpu. it just means you can get away without actually having a gpu but you wouldn't be able to play games at a good fps with it.

Thanks! Ill order it then.

I just finished building my brother a new PC, with an AMD FX-6300. The only time you'll use them is when you get graphics drivers; install your LAN/Wifi drivers from the disk that comes with your motherboard and download the latest driver package from your card's site (don't bother with the disk that comes with your card, those drivers are generally outdated). Once you download and install those, restart your PC and the discrete card will automatically override the integrated.

Thanks a lot, ill do that.

This is an ivy bridge, and Intel's latest Haswell processors came out a few weeks ago. You would be better off ordering one of those rather than one of these. I hope I'm not too late.

There's one of them around your price range.

I've heard about a 20% increase in raw processing power, and much improved power usage, so you should defiantly go haswell.

This isn't what actually happens. If you have your dedicated graphics card installed and plugged into your monitor, Windows will temporarily use generic drivers to get your GPU running semi-properly.

The integrated GPU doesn't come into play at all unless you plug your monitor into your motherboard and don't use a dedicated graphics card.

If you plan on overclocking, don't use Haswell. They're actually worse in overclocking performance than the Ivy Bridges and the stock clock difference is negligible. Their only advantages are that they're a bit more efficient and have better integrated graphics, which shouldn't factor in for a desktop (they're really laptop chips tbh). Save yourself a few bucks and get a 3570K.

Goes to show you that newer != better.

Intel uses a tick and tock cycle for their processors, meaning a smaller "tick" release such as ivy bridge, and a larger,long term "tock". Haswell is the tock,and a general rule of thumb is to always go with a tock over a tick. In this case meaning Haswell over Ivy Bridge. If the OP is building a new pc, there is no reason to go with a gen 3 over Haswell. Yes, the performance gain isn't as significant, but it's still faster and more power efficient. Also, Haswells are great overclockers, don't know where you read they aren't lol.

If your cooler can handle it (or if you delid) then overclocking haswell can give you anything from 4.2 to 4.8 GHz depending on the CPU. The range is a lot wider than with Ivy Bridge but Haswell @4.2GHz will perform at least as good as Ivy Bridge@4.5GHz, which is usually the maximum overclock you can get with air cooling on Ivy Bridge.

tl;dr
Worst Case: low oc, same performance as Ivy Bridge
Best Case/no oc: Haswell >>> Ivy Bridge
->Go for Haswell (the 4000 ones)

I'm running an Ivy Bridge (3770k) at 4.6 GHz and it runs so ridiculously hot I had to get a closed water cooling loop for it (Corsair H100i) and it STILL hits 80C under load. I highly highly doubt that you can get 4.5 GHz on air cooling

The H100i doesn't perform significantly better than the best air coolers in terms of temps.

I'm going for the haswell then, thanks for all the help.
