i've got a problem...
i'm putting together a new computer using a pretty nice barebones kit off of tigerdirect, and i'm getting a new 22 inch monitor from newegg.
the motherboard that comes with the barebones kit has an hdmi output on it, so i'm getting a monitor with the same input.
now i don't play many pc games, mostly rts's and the occasional rpg. there are a few games recently (sins of a solar empire and the witcher) that have come out that i'd like to play.
i'd rather not get a video card, due not only to price, but i've got my heart set on outputting with hdmi (i know there are video cards with hdmi but what i've found is more expensive than i can justify spending).
will i be fine using the onboard video? the motherboard is an XFX GeForce 8200 Motherboard (i'll have 4 gigs of ram and a dual core processor).
thanks for any advice.
