if i were to get this (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8139505&CatId=8586) motherboard and this (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8526351&CatId=1969) cpu, would the graphics be good enough to game on without a gpu? and how good would the graphics be?

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$.

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.
