Hello there and first off all a big thanks for all the help this site and the community offers for about everything has to do with pcs :p

Now lets get to the point. I am going to upgrade my pc and i was thinking to use the 6700k cpu internal graphics for some time at least until the new gpus from Amd are out and can do some comparison between them and the 1070 gtx. I am talking about playing games like D3 or LOL with the IGP. Later on with the normal gpu i am obviusly going to play more demanding games.

My question is how much stress will this use put on the cpu? And will it affect the longevity of it?

My system will be :
motherboard Gigabyte Z170x gaming 7
cpu i7 6700k
cpu cooler noctuna nh d14 ( i think this one one can cover me for every OC i am going to do )
ram g skill tridentz 16gb 3200mhz dual
psu i already have xfx 750w bronze 80+
ssd i already have the 850 evo 500gb
hdd i already have WD 1tb
OS is windows 10 pro 64.
case i already have midi tower bitfenix shinobi
monitor i have already a lg 29 ultra wide

The upgrade cost is 700-730e. I can fit a Gpu like 750ti for another 150e but i feel like its wasted money if i can cover my needs efectively and safely with the Igp for some months until the new gpus are out and tested.

wow that was a fast answer :p thank you. I have seen some videos with the igp in games like d3 and wow and i think i will be fine with it for some time :p at least i am playing on a GT 9600 nvidia atm which i think is below the i7 6700k igp :)
