I had planned on building a PC with an i5-2500K 3.30GHz and a Sapphire HD 7850. However, due to budget issues, I might not be able to actually buy the GPU right away.

Is the integrated graphic chip on the CPU okay to do basic things like browsing the internet, watching youtube etc. Basically so my girlfriend can use it... I'm assuming it is, but having never built a computer before I just wanted to check. Can I still output to high resolutions?

I appreciate that gaming on it will be impossible.
 
I might have to do this... if I wanted to buy a cheap GPU for, say, 40-50 quid as an interim - to at least play some basic games (source) plus I really want to play Amnesia: The Dark Descent - are there any recommendations? Or would you say just wait?
