How about the XFX 390? Is it any good?

pOh! Didn't notice. Thanks I'll just get the Semi-Modular V750.

How come the Cooler master V Series semi modular is tier 2 and the non modular V series is tier 1?

*sigh* I give up , I'll just go with the H97 PC Mate and a cheap $30 card. Thanks for the replies.

Thanks for the replies Before I get a cheap graphics card , Do motherboards come with integrated GPUs like , ever? I'm currently looking at the Gigabyte G1 sniper Z97 motherboard and the specifications page on Gigabyte's website say something about 512mb shared graphics , Will it work? . I don't want high resolutions or anything I just want to output simple video so I can see what's going on. If the G1 Sniper gaming can output video without a graphics card then that's perfect because I could kill 2 birds with 1 stone by getting a better quality motherboard and being able to output video without having to buy a cheap graphics card.

Hi , I'm getting the MSi H97 PC mate and I have a question. Does it come with Intel HD Graphics? I'll be using Intel Xeon 1231 v3 CPU that doesn't have Intel HD graphics. So can I use the H97 PC mate + Intel Xeon without a graphics card?

Build a laptop?

Looks like I'm gonna have to buy the card now!

I could get the Asus R9 290 DirectCU II for the same price , but are you sure it's better than the XFX? I really love the design of the XFX and reviews say that it's not that bad at cooling (Less temp , more noise) But I don't really mind it because I have my headphones on all the time.

Gaming and Photoshop
