Hello All,

I'm planning to build an economic desktop that will be mostly used to do some gaming and web browsing. I'm planning to add a graphics card later on. I have picked some parts, but I'm not completely sure if it is a good build. Also I was wondering if games like COD Black Ops II would run with integrated graphics?

Thanks for the help.

This will be able to run pretty much any games on medium-high settings at 1080p

Well, they already put good builds. But to answer your question about Black Ops 2 running on integrated graphics...

 

You should be able to run it at High settings with everything else set to low (Map details, no shadows, etc.) and no AA at a stable 30 - 40 FPS.

But honestly, get a GPU as soon as possible, even if it's $100...
