I currently have 3570 (non-k) with less on-board graphics compared to the 3570K.

I also bought HD 7770 1GB GPU... but I was thinking do i really need a graphics card when my main intentions are only for music? I only put the graphics card in for the sake of CS:Go that I might play here and there but I doubt it. I was thinking of rebuilding my whole build if I decide to remove the GPU if it's not necessary and I could save $100ish and even replace the CPU 3570 with a 3570K.

I'm confused now as I was set on my build with the GPU of $720 (w/ 3570 non-k) but I'm looking at it as money position and my current needs.

I'm getting older and older... I dont' want to play any games truthfully. I never did play another games except for Counter-Strike. Now I'm in a dilemma..

Situation 1: Stick with current build w/ GPU: $720 (or even replace the CPU with 3570K increase to $745)

or

Situation 2: Remove GPU, REPLACE GPU with 3570K: 640

I'm saving $80.. mhmm and maybe with that $80 I could put it towards of a sound card.. I DONT KNOW! :( HELP!.

Here you can see the performance on HD4000 graphics, if you're happy to play with medium settings you can still play your game.
