Graphics Card For My PC

Right off the assembly line
Hello,

After a lot of thinking today I finally built my PC, my specs are,

Intel i5 3570 (Non K)
Asus P8B75 m LX mobo
Corsair CX430v2 PSU
Corsair Vengeance 4gb DDR3
NZXT Gamma
Asus DVD Writer

and an old Acer AL1702W

I thought that Intel's i5's inbuilt graphics would atleast help me to get a decent graphics performance, but in windows rating it gives 1.0 which is the lowest. IDC much about it but the screen resolution is also really poor (800x600). I thought it would give me a decent graphics performance which would give me a resolution of 1400x900. Am I doing anything wrong or will the resolution be so low.
Or should I get a new graphics card? If yes which one?

I am already over budget..... Which card would be good for me? All I need is basic HD video playing HD and a better screen resolution.

Thanks

No highs, No lows = Bose.
Getting a ddr3 at this stage is not advisable at this stage. Just for watching hd videos , I think the HD 2500 should suffice the purpose.There must be some problem with your rig as I dont think the hd 2500 is so bad as to not even play videos @ 1400*900.
For gaming, at least a Radeon 6670 DDR5 is recommended at 5k.
