Just a thought,
For best functionality and quality, I would use DVI connection if possible and not HDMI. Or if you use HDMI turn off audio sources. Unless you absolutely depend on HDMI use DVI or VGA - these will be small maybe unnoticeable increases in performance/quality but hey why not if you can and you have the cords lying around.!
I like to have my audio handled by an entirely separate driver than my display - I have had issues with HDMI in the past so have chosen to now avoid it. In my experience it is more stable to have separate processes (IF the driver/APIs are solid well tested one) handling audio and video. People may/can/will argue this but that's my professional opinion.

Yes, the intel hd graphics 4600 will run on that motherboard just fine.
Just remember not to run heavy games on it...wait for your GPU to arrive before you do any graphic-intensive activity.

Well technically that site is correct because the motherboard doesn't have integrated graphics, but the processor itself does.

Thank you again for the info.
Guys I am also planning to get Corsair Vengeance 8GB single DDR3 Memory Kit (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10) and would add another 8gb.....Is there chance that both wont work together??

A chance, yes. Ideally RAM should be baught in the pairs (or 4 packs) that you eventually want to use all at once, as each stick is tested at the factory to worth with the other.
That said, if you buy the EXACT same type of RAM again there is a good chance it will work just fine.
Here's a great explanation of why from the Tom's article "The Most Common DDR DRAM Myths Debunked" :
"Even though you are buying two of the exact same sets, there is no guarantee that they will work together. The DRAM that goes into a package has been tested to work together. Manufacturers don’t guarantee mixing or adding one set to another, even when they are the same exact model.
Customers often try this with higher data rate sticks using XMP to set them up. With XMP enabled, the motherboard may read the profile for two sticks of DRAM and set the secondary timings accordingly, but the tRFC timing for two modules may be 226, whereas four sticks require 314. This can be especially hard for most users to troubleshoot/find, as few ever go into the secondary DRAM timings."

So if I add 2x4gb c10 corsair vengeance dual channel now will i be able to add 2x8gb dual channel in the future.
Im also confused between kingston hyperx fury c10 1866 mhz or crosair vengeance c10 1600 mhz. Hyperx comes with a 5yr warranty where as corsair comes with life time also hyperx is much cheaper!

You are good to go until your card arrives -as your chip and board have integrated graphics support.
Yes you will be able to upgrade ram how you please. The performance gain when comparing 1600Mhz and1866Mhz RAM will most likely be unnoticeable/insignificant in gaming and even most benchmarks (obviously not RAM specific ones). I would just go with the cheapest set unless there are a ton of bad review -Kingston and Corsair usually make solid products and I have had good luck using both brands personally.
You have a dual channel board so if appropriate DRAM type is used it will run in dual channel mode by default. General rule of thumb is to not mix brands/different part numbers -as functionality is not guaranteed - but I've had different brand DIMMs work on some mobos before. But more often then not you will run into problems mixing DIMM brands/speeds on one board.
Happy gamin'!

Also there's no harm in running new/AAA game titles with the integrated gfx. If you have properly applied the thermal paste and cooler on the CPU -If you haven't already, I would stress test to ensure the temperatures are okay- unless you had a bunch of other applications opened at the same time you can safely run games. Medium graphics settings should be at least be playable for most games with no harm to CPU.

Indeed I'll using DVI.

I have decided to go with hyperx fury cl10 1x8gb 1866 mhz for now as its cheaper and faster than the corsair.
If I add another 8gb stick of the same model with same specs in a short while will they work together in dual channel?
If not, will I be able to get them to work in dual channel by tweaking the settings setting aside stability issues. How do I know if it is running dual channel?
Also the hyperx has a pnp feature.What does this mean? Will it support xmp?

For the board to run in dual channel all you need to do is ensure each pair of DIMMS are in the approriate slots, typically color coded. If you have one stick installed you are in single channel mode technically because there is only 1 DIMM for the CPU to access, once you pop in another DIMM in appropriate slot (Its usually the 1st and 3rd and 2nd and 4th are the separate "banks" -just consult motherboard manual if unsure.) It will be running in dual channel -CPU accessing 2 DIMMS simultaneously-
You do it the way you are doing it, but it is best practice to by RAM is sets of 2 or 4 -for dual and quad channel boards, respectively.
The plug and play is not as it sounds -it seems to be a marketing thing to promote the fact the RAM "stays overclocked".
XMP functionality will depend completely on your board specs and how you overclock you CPU - Overclocking CPU and RAM are NOT separate entities as each effects the other and it can get quite complicated between RAM and motherboard specs/configuration.
CPU-Z i a free tool for displaying your CPU and RAM/XMP settings and speeds,
Or run an Aida64 memory benchmark and it will tell you what channel/speed everything is running at -I use this typically because CPU-Z sometimes doesn't display RAM info correctly. In fact on my setup where it should say quad-channel it doesn't -probably because of my OC..but when I run Aida it reports my speeds and verifies its running in quad-channel.
