Hi,

I am helping my sister to pick out a computer for her to buy, and I stumbled onto this thing:

# 483001 - Cooler Master Sileo 500, 500W PSU Svart, Fläktar: 1x 120mm Front, 1x 120mm Bak, ljudabsorberande, 500W PSU
# 576803 - Intel Core™ i3 Dual-core Processor i3-540, 3,06GHz, Socket LGA1156, 4MB, Boxed
# 352064 - Kingston ValueR. DDR3 1333MHz 2GB, CL9 Non-ECC, 1.5V, 256Meg x 64, 240pin
# 576879 - Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H, H55, Socket-1156, 4xDDR3, m-ATX, GbLAN, VGA, HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort, PCI-Ex(2.0)x16
# 430708 - Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA-300, 16MB, 7200RPM
# 303162 - Antistatic Armchain 180cm

Now I am not really sure if it is just to put it together and run it.
I know that every part is there but I can't find anything that tells me that there is an integrated graphics card for that motherboard.
So my questions are is it a good rig?
Do I have to find here a graphics card to make it work?

The Core i3 series chips have graphics built directly into the CPU. So you could get a discrete card to improve graphics performance, but that should work fine how it is.

I suspected that with it having a GPU incorporated into the design^^
Thank you very much for you reply Ghan :)
Perhaps I should write how well it worked here later because it is so new:D

Definitely. I'm interested to hear how well the new chips perform with graphics as compared with older integrated graphics and discrete cards.

Then I will post it in a separate thread :) I can try warcraft 3 on it just for fun^^
I hope that it works with windows XP though, since I don't have windows 7 and only vista 64bits :)

I understood the integrated graphics only works on the h series motherboards, not the p series... yours should have it and work fine

Yeah, I noticed that as well, but the page did not say anything about an integrated graphics card so I was a bit confused there^^

It is a good thing that we have TH to help with these kind of things:thup:

Well, anyway. You should avoid anything that has an integrated parts video card graphics and so on.
If you want to buy a good comp.

I knew that^^ I actually used the ESD armchain for the first time in my whole life^^

Anyhow, I have assembled the comp now, it took me about 5 hours which is not that bad considering that I was so nervous that I was sweating like a pig and had to stop every half hour just so that I would not drip sweat on the motherboard:p

It is just crazy how different it looks considering the last comp I put together was about 5 years ago:eek:
