Do I need a GPU?

Currently in process of building a casual gaming PC. Would like to run the likes of BF4 and Bioshock.

I have a G1.Sniper A88x and a AMD Kaveri 7700K.

Do i need another GPU to go with it or would the onboard R7 suffice? Budget is somewhat limited at the moment so was probably looking at the MSI r8 270x if any, or would this be no benefit.

Ram wise I've got 16gb of 1600mhz. Would be looking to upgrade this as time goes on, but it was free and is to get me going!

Resolution will probably be 1280x720 or 1600x900. Have a few screens laying around so can kind of pick and choose.
 
Thanks for the useful replies.
Think I have decided to go with the inboard gpu and invest in some faster RAM. Currently have RipjawsX.
Problem is I think the motherboard is limited to 1866. I doubt that is much of an increase?
May have to think about a Gigabyte F2A88X-D3H or Gigabyte F2A88XM-HD3
