I'm going to be building a little system for a friend, who's only really gonna be using it for web surfing and some youtube watching, no gaming or anything. And he just has a regular HD monitor, or it might even be a 720p monitor. I was going to use the Pentium 4560 since it's cheaper.. will the regular onboard video be good enough to skip the video card to save a few bucks? Just trying to keep it small and cheap with a little itx case, nothing fancy. Do you really need a video card still for a basic system? Like will there be a worthwhile performance boost to get a cheap card, or is the onboard video fine for that?

The i7 7700K will be able to play at better sittings because it comes with intel HD graphics 630 instead of the Pentium HD graphics 610

hmm.. interesting. I think I read that Coffee Lake has 630 also? would have been a nice opportunity to add something better but I guess they just wanted to focus on adding cores to beat AMD. Kinda surprised the games play that well, I always assumed you needed a real GPU no matter what.

Yes the 8700K has intel HD graphics 630 just like the 7700K
