I wanted a processor with integrated graphics powerful enough for a htpc. This core i3 is not very expensive and theoretically allows to dispense with graphics card if you have a suitable motherboard. Finally, I was a little disappointed with the integrated graphics chip Intel HD 2500. I thought it would have been enough for the "high" profile madVR but in reality no and I had to install a GeForce GT 520 I had in reserve. For the rest is impeccable.
