New i7 3770k build

[ramboy]

Greetings all

I recently got an i7 3770k. I had requested an i5 3570k from a family member in new york and she bought the i7 3770k which was purchased at a micro center store.

so i bought the msi g45 thunderbolt mobo today and the tech told me that the i7 3770k would not work without a graphic card. so that got me thinking it is true or not, or he just nuts?

The Core i7-3770K has HD Graphics 4000, so it will work without a graphics card. The tech just doesn't know what he's talking about.

Just don't expect to play games on Ultra settings with it.

i told him i was going to use integrated gfx while card was being shipped... but i think he wanted me to buy one of those overpriced cards they are selling.

Yeah, they always have one last thing they want to sell you.
