Hi to everyone,

I am new to the forum and I would like to thank all of you in advance for your suggestions.

I am planning to upgrade my desktop pc from a system which has a Pentium 4 Prescott to an Intel Ivy Bridge Processeur Core i7-3770K / 3.50 GHz. At the moment I need the PC for browse internet, play movies, word processors and use of Photoshop. However in the near future I would like to do some Video Editing as well. Thus the system I was looking for is something that is ready to use (for example an integrated video card) which I can upgrade successively to a proper graphic card with 3D properties.

So the configuration that I have been looking for is:

Intel Ivy Bridge Processeur Core i7-3770K / 3.50 GHz 4 cores LGA 1155

Asus 90-MIBHS0-G0EAY0DZ P8Z77-V PRO Carte mère ATX Intel Socket 1155

Corsair CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9B Mémoire RAM DDR3 1600 16 Go COR CL9 Vengeance Blue Kit4

SSD OCZ Agility 3 240 GB.

The system would be running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

I am not sure if the integrated would work with this configuration. Alternatively I have a NVIDIA AGP video card (quite old in fact...6 years I think) which I could use but I do not see any AGP slot on this motherboard. Thus the first goal would be to make the internal video card and only after summer 2013 I will upgrade to a proper videocard.

Thanks again for your help.

Luca

The integrated graphics on the 3770k will work fine for a non gaming setup. It's plenty fast for basic applications.

thanks for your answer. would it be good enough for video editing applications?

Keeping the same processor, which alternative motherboard do you recommend?

Second question. Does the i7 processor comes with a dissipator pre-installed or I need to buy one?

Thanks again
