Hello, I am building a PC for a friend and he does not game, only work.

He will mainly browse the web, use Microsoft Office software, watch YouTube videos, Netflix, etc.

He does not game and so I was wondering is the Intel HD Graphics 530 capable of handling basic video stuff like this? The CPU I am looking at is the Intel Core i5-6500.

Thanks!

absolutely
 
Thanks, so the 530 will be more than enough and won't cause any lag during his videos or things like that?



 


honostly the better questions are how good is his internet bandwidth package?? yt kodi streaming ect all run fine on my skylakes no dedicated gpu atm...ur good
 



Ok I see, I'll have to ask him about the internet but thanks for letting me know about the HD 530.
 


no problem... here http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=Intel+HD+530 any 1080p streaming should be fine but yeah his isp and bandwidth also contribute. if hes not gaming its totoally fine. heck u can run some games on it stilll that play nice
