im looking at building a pc for minecraft, and i am wondering do i need to buy a gpu if i have a Intel Core i5 3470? and if i do need one, what should I get for $50-$100. (i will be using a 24" 1080p monitor)

PC specs that im looking at getting but i really don't want to have to buy the graphics card if i don't have to!

**And i want minecraft to run always at 55-60fps on full settings :)

Thats a push/shove type Q. I would bet the real answer is 'no', but If I were you I would bolt in a $45 card.
a 6570 or similar.

Best to get a cheaper low end one, such as a HD 7750 or a GTX 650. It'll run on your integrated GPU but not great.

I would snag either an hd 7750 or hd 7770 ghz edition for around $100. They will run minecraft perfectly, and will run other games if you decide to in the future.

You Probably wont need more than 1Gb with a Card of that Caliber, Especially if your Main Game is MC. But yes, GDDR5 is faster than DDR3
