I tried looking into the onboard graphics for 8500G, but couldn't seem
to find much. I should've just suggested he try that first and then
could buy a separate graphics card if necessary, although prices are
likely to raise considerably next year in the US for everything (tariffs.)
Compared to a graphics card, the integrated graphics in AMD's G-suffix
CPUs is very poor. They're basically the replacement for the low-end
$100-$150 cards that no longer exist. Still they're significantly better
than what integrated graphics used to be (and still are for AMD's CPUs
without a G suffix). The CPU inside the Steam Deck has a similar CPU
with integrated graphics, so they can be a reasonable option for someone
who wants a cheap PC that can play older or less demanding games.
However, if someone was looking build a cheap gaming PC without a
graphics card, I'd recommend the 8600G as it's a fair bit faster, but
not that much more expensive than the 8500G. On the other hand the
8700G probably isn't worth the extra price.
I finally dug around and found some info on it by comparing flops, the 8500G seems to be about half the performance of the now really old gtx 950 that I waterfalled to him already, so yeah no use for that onboard video.
