Is it better to use an i3-9100f with or without the NVIDIA GT 710?

I'm planning to build a new pc because my current one is outdated and needs to be replaced. I have an old GT 710 but I'm unsure if it's okay if I pair it with the 9100f. Can anyone give me tips?

You need a graphic card anyway, the 9100F doesn't come with integrated graphics. Just use the 710 until you can buy better card

It'll work. Just not well for any sort of modern gaming. For media consumption, yea it'll be fine.

I'm open for any good choices, is the 3200g better than a 9100f paired with the GT 710 for gaming? I'm sorry if I sound dumb, I'm quite new to PC building. Any tips would help. And

Ok first things first.

- What do you want to do with your new rig? Gaming, Office, Browsing the Web or a combination?
- What is your budget and in which currency?

- do have any other parts you want to carry over to your new rig besides the gt710?

 

For office, email and web browsing the I3-9100f + gt710 is totally fine.
Alternativ you could go with an amd r5-3400g without the gt710.
Another alternative could be the I3-9100 without gt 710, this I3 variant has an integrated small gpu.

Go with what ever is the cheapest.

 

If you want to do some gaming(more than pinball or solitaire) you should start with an r5-2600 / r5-3600 and  a discrete gpu like a Rx 570, gtx 1650 super or higher. All depending on your budget.

first of all, i have a super tight budget. maximum is $300. in IDR its around idr 4mil. ill use it for gaming and i wanna use the gt 710 since its from my old build. i might buy the r3 3200g because it has integrated graphics, but since i need the best buck for my budget i need to ask.

since youre on a super tight budget, it is better to get the 3200G system, its iGPU is almost 3 times the performance of the GT710, just make sure you use dual channel ram since its important for an APU

I agree get the 3200G, if possible a used 3400G. 2x4GB Ram if possible and a motherboard with 4 dimm slots so you can add more ram down the line if necessary.
