Hello, I am building a PC for a friend and he does not game, only work.

He will mainly browse the web, use Microsoft Office software, watch YouTube videos, Netflix, etc.

He does not game and so I was wondering is the Intel HD Graphics 530 capable of handling basic video stuff like this? The CPU I am looking at is the Intel Core i5-6500.

Thanks!

Thanks, so the 530 will be more than enough and won't cause any lag during his videos or things like that?
