is the gpu in a processor used while using a graphics card or is the cpu side the major factor?

If you cpu has an intergrated grapgics card and you add a gpu to your system(pcie 16x) the intergrated graphics will have no impact on anything, so the anwser to your question would be no, the intergrated graphics in a procesor does not matter at all if you are using a graphics card in your computer.
what does matter is how fast the cpu is so it dosent bottleneck your graphics card in games so if you are buying a gaming cpu any i5 should be fine the i5 4690k is great for gaming
