Hi Guys,

I am planning on getting an i5 3570K with all the trimmings, however I am not sure on the graphics card. Still in the early planning phase so cant ellaborate on mobo type yet.

I only do light gaming, general internet and blu ray type stuff so not sure on how much I would have to spend before the card provided better graphics than the cpu. Can anyone tell me at what point its worth going discrete graphics?

Sorry I know its a pretty vague one but debating card or no card.

Thanks.
 
Right now its an old CRT so will be upgrading that too. Its very early in the planning stage so just putting some costs together.

I take it that card will be noticeably better than the i5's onboard GPU?
 
Well that answer is exactly what I was looking for "decisive" cheers will look in to that.

Any recommendation on specific cards or is anything with that chipset fine?
