It depends on what you plan on playing but in most cases, yes you will need a graphics card as the intel graphics just aren't enough to cut it for gaming.

For gaming, you will need a dedicated graphics card. The integrated graphics solution on the I3 will not suffice.

Depends on what you're going to play.

TF2 will probably be passable on that, and FTL would be fine, but intensive games will perform badly.

the intel hd 4400 isnt horrible, but its not a very good gpu for gaming

its great for movies and flash, capable of 3d gaming, but not at higher settings

if you have a 500w psu, pick up a r9 270 instead of a gtx750
will cost the same and its a stronger card, just needs more power
