    Would it be ok to use the on-board graphics as oppose to buying a specific graphics card. :confused:
    I'm not 100|% sure but I wouldn't take the risk.

    You could always try first and if its not enough for you buy a graphics card later, probably the best way to go if you're not sure you need one. And the onboard graphics with the ivybridge processors are supposed to be pretty decent

    You could, though it could affect some areas of video editing such as rendering and so on, plus a 6850 for around the same price, is so much better than the 7750.
