Ok well I have been working on my gaming rig for quite a while now and I officially now have everything for it except for one thing. That one thing being the GPU, I would rather wait a little bit before getting my GPU so I can save money for a good one. I have heard that with my current CPU and Motherboard it is possible to run my computer w/o a GPU for the time being. Well here is my current build:


CPU- Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 BX80623I52500K

Speakers- Logitech Z323 30 Watts (RMS) 2.1 Speaker System

I think I want different speakers something a lil bit more powerful and a better design these ones are horrendous and bulky.

So will I be able to run this rig w/o a GPU for the time being?

i5-3570k and a Z77 instead.

You will be able to use the integrated graphics if you don't have the graphics card.

Suggest Caviar blue or black for the hard drive.

Do you have Windows?

You have no RAM listed. Get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314

Suggest the Crucial M4 over a OCZ SSD.

Do you need an optical drive?
