I'm building a computer for one of my family memebers and i was wondering if i'd need a gpu with the i5 4570. I saw that it has intel hd graphics and heard they could actually play some pretty advanced games, But could i just run the computer with the cpu? Would it be able to play videos and use Microsoft word efficiently? Thanks for the help!
 
Solution
For a basic system for Word and watching say Netflix, Hulu+ or Youtube, the IGP (Intel HD Graphics) on the 4570 is sufficient.. Won't be doing much gaming on it though. :lol:
