Ultrawide QHD with integrated graphics

[CBojorges]

Hi guys.

 

I wanna upgrade my monitor and was thinking of buying the Samsung LS34E790CN. The problem is I haven't bough a graphics card yet so I was wondering if my core i5 6500 could drive it. 

 

Should I buy the graphics card first?

 

Also I was thinking on buying latter a gtx 1080 but I'm not sure if it would bottleneck with that cpu or if it's overkill for that screen.  

I'm not really able to choose another screen as I want an ultrawide qhd and in my country that's the only option for a reasonable price. 

 

I hope this is the right place to post this.

 

Thanks.

the 6500 will run the ultrawide monitor fine as long as you're not playing crysis 3

imo, I'd go for a 1070 and spend the cash saved on an i7

For doing mostly everything except for gaming then yeah it should work fine. But just don't open a game you get like 2 fps and then crashes.

 

The 1080 wont bottleneck the 15 6500 it can keep up with it. And the GPU buying point is up to a. If you wan't to game now, or later, and b. If you have the money.

 

And you've come to the right place

Thanks. I'll check out pricing on the 1070 as soon it's released here.
