Personally, I don't see the wattage as being an issue, since much of the wattage has to do with the graphics, which if you aren't using then the wattage will be significantly less, and if you are, then it's still only 220 watts max and not much different than having standalone graphics. But that is a good deal if you can get a 4770 and mobo combo for that price, I would probably go for that as well.

That said, I can vouch that even the latest integrated graphics on the Intel is still rather pathetic, and while it may be technically capable of pushing multiple monitors, and I could definitely be wrong because I haven't tried it, but I can't imagine it is practically capable of pushing multiple monitors. But I have not used AMD and can't vouch for it either, just from what I have read it has far superior graphics and may be better if you are looking for an all in one solution. It's just all so confusing :)
