Integrated graphics means integrated graphics. You can use your PC without an external GPU however all i3, i5, i7 or other modern intel CPU's integrated graphics are for very minimal use. It is meant for basic graphical use like video playback and web surfing. It is absolutely not mean't for any gaming unless it is flash...

To be fair, the Intel integrated graphics can play most games on low settings, and older games from about 4 years ago can often be bumped up to medium settings. It isn't an ideal solution for anyone wanting to play newer games with good settings, but for users who only play games occasionally or like a few older games it does an decent job.
