Short answer, yes you can still use it but I'm guessing that the integrated graphics might actually be better than that card. But really, you ALWAYS need a graphics card but make it a good one! j/k kind of!
Technical answer, no you don't "need" a discreet gpu because you have decent integrated graphics but really, do you even "need" an A6 Black Edition? lol.
So, what do you plan on using this pc for? That better helps answer the question no?

thanks i wasnt sure it the graphics card was compatible, i'm using the pc for light gaming, alot of video/photo editing, the reason i'm getting the black edition is that is they are all black editions apart from 1 which is a4 3.4ghz and the black edition im getting is 3.9ghz which i thought would be better isn't it?

It should be. I like to check the benchmarks in reviews to really determine that but it's a pretty safe assumption. To be clear, I wouldn't bother with your old gpu but do recommend trying a recent generation gpu. If you were to go for a new gpu what would be your budget? Also for video editing you'd really like the gpu accelerator's now that use both cpu and gpu power to get tasks done!
