If hd viewing lang naman why get a discrete video card if 7xxx series is already available in amd trinity with less power consumption.
same lang power draw/ consumption ng AMD APU at Intel i3 + discrete:
Sample Setups: (ITX Build)
AMD Build:
AMD A8-3850 2.9Ghz (Radeon HD 6550D)
1 stick DDR3
1 SSD
1 Green HDD
1 Blu-Ray combo drive
PSU Calculator Result:
Minimum PSU Wattage: 144 W
Recommended PSU Wattage: 194W
Intel Build:
Intel Core i3-3220 3.3Ghz (55W TDP)
1 stick DDR3
AMD HD 7750 1GB GDDR5
1 SSD
1 Green HDD
1 Blu-Ray combo drive
PSU Calculator Result: (est using i3-2120 3.3Ghz 65W TDP, i3-3220 is 55W TDP, so less 10W draw)
Minimum PSU Wattage: 154 W - 10W = 144W
Recommended PSU Wattage: 204W - 10W = 194W
