Will I be fine with no GPU or should I invest in one?
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Hi guys,
I built my computer about 3-4 months ago with IB 3770k with GTX 680 thinking I'd play lots of games. I realized GPU was too powerful for me as I hardly play any games now so I sold it to a lucky buyer about 2 weeks ago.
My machine is currently using onboard GPU (Intel 4000 HD) to drive a 2560x1440 monitor. Will I still require an external GPU? I currently use my desktop to watch streamed videos like youtube or netflix and watch HD movies at 1080p.
If you guys believe I need one, I'd like to buy one that's decent enough for occasional gaming but nothing too crazy. I'd like to stay below $250 for a GPU if I have to get one. Ofcourse, lower the price the better.
Thanks for the help in advance.

HD Graphics are good enough for just watching movies even on a 2560x1440 monitor.
