I'm building a PC for everyday use and very minor gaming. I want a good CPU that has awesome integrated graphics so that I can play KotOR, Sims 3, and Kerbal Space Program. I also want to put a graphics card in eventually without having to replace any other parts.
This was suggested by another person, but I just wanted to confirm how well it would work.
