Hi, I originally planned for an i5 plus GT950 or equal card (a short and thin variant), but now thinking of going with an i7 and using on-board video.
Reason - my case is very tight (miniITX build). There's decent airflow from bottom to top (a cylindrical design much like the new Mac Pro), but the graphics card may block a lot of that airflow. I'm afraid I might smell burning Bakelite in the near future.
This build will be used mostly for graphics and CAD, with a few games, but nothing too...
How exactly is the performance of the on chip Intel 530 graphics?
