Hi there,

I'm planning on getting a new Intel i5 3570k, but I'm not sure if the integrated graphics (Intel HD 4000) are stronger than my Radeon 6570. I realize this sounds stupid, but I really need to make sure and I've heard lots of conflicting stories and tests. And it's pretty pricy, so I can't mess up.

Thanks a ton!

The HD 6570 is better, but if you want to play the latest games with good graphic settings, I would suggest something more powerful than either. What is your budget if you choose to buy a new GPU?

Hmm. Well, I'll just be using this temporarily, but maybe you can suggest something in the $200 range? Do you need any motherboard statistics?

Yes please, posting your mobo, PSU brand and model would help.

For $220, this is the best GPU for the money and would destroy any GPU in this price range, but it does use a bit of power and you would need a 600+W PSU with 1 6 pin PCI-E and 8 pin PCI-E power connector.

My Motherboard: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681...

I'm not sure what my power unit will be, but the case I'm getting is MicroATX, so I need a unit that will fit that. Also, I'd like it if any parts you find could be on Newegg, since I usually shop there.

If you are getting a Micro ATX case, both of the GPU's you and I posted will have a hard time fitting inside it.

In that case, I would choose the GTX 480 as it will fit fine. I would get this PSU to have enough power for the GTX 480. You will be happy with this combo.

isn't the HD6570 ( http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/AMD_Series/EAH6570DI... ) 6.6in x 4.6in though? The specifications of the case say they'll hold cards up to 13in long. Is it a width problem?

Nope, the description of the case states that even GTX 580's would fit fine, so the GTX 480 would fit fine.

Right! Thanks for the suggestion. I've bookmarked that graphics card, and I'll get it once I get the money. For now I'll stick with my Radeon (Not for too long though!).

Thanks a ton!
