I recently had been looking at upgrading my computer with a new processor and a new graphics card. But my processor(i5-3330), has integrated graphics,so what i'm asking is if i replace the processor do i have to get the graphics card anyway?

Fairly sure all the intel i series processors have iGPU's except the "p" series i think.... And a graphics card just overides the iGPU so you dont do anything funny with it.

The easiest way to advise would be to tell us what you intend to use it for. Unless your about to become a seriously heavy streamer or a CAD student, there is no point to upgrading that processor, its practically new tech :p

Well I was looking around 200-350$ for new graphics card
I think that can get me a GTX 650 or maybe a 660 maybe even a 670 but probably not though

Can you explain how its better?
I was reading the specs on both and for some reason the 670 looks slightly better to me
