:\

whatever you want. If you want intel, get intel... just take this advice please... NEVER use intel HD graphics. It might bench alright in generic compute benchmarks... it might even pull alright FPS in certain benches... but the minute you look at frame latencies, open 4 or more web browser windows... or actual play games with it... the story comes out.

Intel graphic drivers suck really really bad. Far worse then the benches accurately convey. So bad it's basically impossible to play most games... its even hard to open multiple browser tabs...

please spend some cash on a dedicated graphics card. Grab a cheaper i3, or grab an i5-3350P... and get some sort of gpu... a gtx 650 or HD 7750 at the min...

Thanks man ill do this one instead. sorry if I was a pain to try to help but I seem to be pretty hard headed sometimes(must be the 50% german), and I wanted an intel system. I also haven't ever built a pc before and wanted to make some decisions for myself...

I'm glad you're open to change! Coolmax is notorious for fake 80 plus ratings and actually making up the specs on the front of the box. Once, they made a 700W PSU by slapping 700W on an old Sirtec design that could only handle 600W. Then, they repackaged it and called it a 950W. When we see people, who aren't experienced with building PCs and using reputable power supplies, become tempted by the low prices of the bad PSUs, get very worried.
