Can someone help me with this :)?

Heya guys,

First of all, love the site.

So here's my question: I've built a new PC by myself and it runs great, now I'm not really a hardcore gamer but I like games such as minecraft, COD 4 and I plan to play some battlefield too.

Now since I've spent all my money on the cpu, case, motherboard etcetera I have not much money for a GPU, so here's my question:

I still have a Ati radeon Sapphire HD3850 lying next to me, should I use that or the Intel HD graphics 4000????

I might buy an 6850 when I have the money .

Thanks!

3850 by a longshot.

Yeah go with the HD 3850 for sure, you will get way better performance

Just to show a source, the 3850 is 10 classes above the HD 3000. You'd think the HD 4000 will be 1, 2 classes better at most. That still leaves a 8-9 class difference between the two.

Before you choose the 6850 I would look at the new radeons card like this at the same rpice or cheaper. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102993

7770<6850. If OP wants better performance he'll have to spend like $250 on a 7850. 6850 and 6870 are the best bang-for-buck that AMD has to offer right now.
