No, F series Intel CPU means no integrated graphics. You need a dedicated GPU though could swap it out as long as it fits and doesnt use too much power.

Also, it is not just ANY GPU that will fit and does not use much power. I have tried two old GPUs, Quadro FX3800 and Dell ATI FireMv 2260 256MB PCIe x16, neither of them work (does not POST).
Someone else reported GT210 and GT240 works somewhat, cannot goes into BIOS but goes into Windows OK, but the front LED power lights flashing, 3 amble and 2 white, which means "PCI and Video subsystem failure".

For those who sold the GTX 1660 Ti and wanted to use a cheaper card (not for games, just for browsing, word processing, etc):
I received the GT710 GPU from Staples.com, and it is working fully, I have re-enabled all SecureBoot settings in the BIOS and everything still works great. Here is the link for the GPU: https://www.staples.com/msi-GeFor..._IM13R5374
If you are a cheapster like me, I would assume that all GT710 cards would work, and maybe even some lower cards, but I have not tried. them. Good luck all Slickdealers!

Comes with the generic looking 65W CPU cooler shown in the 3rd picture. The beefier 125W CPU cooler (shown in the 4th picture) ships with K Series processors only.
The cost delta is $170 vs the last Dell i5 desktop deal. 8G RAM is $40-$50, larger SSD prob ~$25, so upgrading from a 1650 super to 1660 ti for roughly ~$100. It's prob worth it, but just wished the PSU was upgraded though. Too late for me, as I bit on the other deal.

So for $170 extra looks like you are getting a better video card double the ram and double the ssd
is everything else identical?
