I have almost finished my choosing of parts for my Htpc.(soon to be a thread)

I am asking if a gpu is needed for this set up

g620 intel cpu
with a Asrock H67m - ITX (b3)
ram 4 gigs corsair



I will want to stream movies in the highest content from you tube,
play my high quality rips in 1080 , blu ray rips, etc..

will a video card make a big difference to the movie & sound or not?

if so, which card do I go with?
the GT 4 series?

Sense you have the H67 with onboard try it. If not then the NVIDIA GeForce GT 430 1GB would do nicely. Even the 5450 would do if your using windows. Easier to find

The i3 has a better graphics chip and its about equal to the 5450 so a 430 would be better
