if i were to get this (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/ite...) motherboard and this (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/ite...) cpu, would the graphics be good enough to game on without a gpu? and how good would the graphics be?

If you only intend to do light gaming on old software titles (COD1 & COD2 for example) then it will be fine. If you want to run the latest games like COD Ghost then no you will need a dedicated GPU........unless you like poor graphics because you will have to turn resolution and detail down to get any decent frame rates.

it should be fine at low settings, integrated graphics is not a good gaming solution. Good news is if you try integrated gaming, and it doesnt work how you want it to, you can get a very cheap GPU like a HD 7770 at basically no power draw for 80$.
