Can you double-check? I don't recall any of those Wolfdale Pentium dual core CPUs having integrated graphics.

I would advise you to keep your expectations very limited, in any case. A GT 710's designed to play games like Microsoft Office and solitaire.

I'm not sure this video is a point in its favor.

In any case, if you're not going to bother and double-check your CPU, which I don't believe has integrated graphics, meaning you already have some GPU in there, there's no useful advice I can give. So I'll wish you luck!

A lot of the old 775 boards had integrated graphics embedded (old nforce chipset).

No matter how bad a gt 710 its actually a lot better than them.

True, but considering he didn't even find out most of his parts, he could have some kind of cheapy GPU in there. I repurposed a similar rig some years ago that had a 9600 GT, which I'd prefer to the 710.
