Hey everyone! I'm looking to build a system with the Ryzen 5 7600X3D, but I won't be getting a discrete GPU right away as I'm saving for a better one. I'm curious if I'll be able to run any games without a GPU and what the benchmarks look like. Also, I heard there's a Microcenter bundle that offers the Ryzen 7 7800X3D for $100 moreโ€”do you think it's worth it?

Just a heads up, the integrated GPU is quite limitedโ€”it'll handle basic tasks but don't expect to run games smoothly. You'll be looking at low resolution and low frame rates. Here's a video that shows what I mean: [benchmark video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmJBTb9QPX8)

CuriousMind00: No worries! Is that video relevant for the 7600X3D too?

Well, if you're mainly playing games like Valorant and League of Legends, you might be fine. The Ryzen 5 7600X3D has basic integrated graphics, so you can get by on low settings.

QuickShot23: Yeah, for those games, a Radeon 6600XT 16GB could be a great match for your needs!
