I'm most probably buying ryzen 1700. The thing I'm concerned is I saw somewhere it will not contain any igpu. Is it? I am not sure. If that is the case, will a low end ddr3 gpu will be able to run(boot) the system?

Accelerated Processing Units are CPUs+GPU combos from AMD. Usually 45-55% (give or take) of the die is taken up by the GPU. But, the beauty of the APU, is that unlike Intel's regular CPUs with IGPUs, AMD's IGPUs can do some CPU intensive stuff, typically never done on a GPU, making it a very fast processor in certain applications.

The only (HUGE) downside, is that there are hardly any apps or devs that are programming for APUs.

APU is another AMD processor with a weaker CPU but much better GPU mainly targeted for budget gaming or media centers.
