Hi,

I'm a first time builder and I just got the i5-2500 CPU and I know that comes with HD 2000 graphics, I have a video card that I got many years ago. It is a 9600GSO so I'm just wondering which one is better. I watch a lot of videos and movies and only play games lighty such as CIV, CS, L4D, and FFXI so high end card isn't something I think I need. Thank you in advance for any input.

take care,stumpy

The 9600GSO is very weak but I think it would beat the HD2xxx series.

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-graphics-card-... The 9600 gso is about 4 times more powerful. It's the same tier as the 5570 which was in this test. http://www.anandtech.com/show/4083/the-sandy-bridge-rev...

Use the 9600GSO. If you find the performance to be less than what you expect or want, then buy a new card.

It might not be great, but its decent, and a heck of a lot better than the Intel graphics.
