You have to elaborate what resolution/settings u game on so we could suggest just how much teeth u require in the GPU dept.

 

[Onus]

Yes, you need a GPU; onboard won't cut it unless you only play very old games, 2D titles, and/or very low resolution (like 1024x768). What to get will depend on your actual resolution, game titles, and how much you may be willing to lower settings; constrained by your budget, of course. From an $80 HD4670 or HD5570 to a $200 GTX460, there are a lot of decent choices.
Your chosen PSU was favorably reviewed at HardwareSecrets: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Rosewill-Green-Series-630-W-RG630-S12-Power-Supply-Review/881/10 although I think there's a lot to be said for modular cables like on the OCZ.

can't i use the video card on the motherboard because probably the only game i'll play would be 18 wheels of steel or call of duty mw2

 

[forzainter]

Check the system requirements on CODMW2. Does it say it can run off of onboard graphics?

 

[Onus]

Go here: http://www.yougamers.com/gameometer/10214/
It looks like yes, but not well. You could start with integrated, see how poorly it runs, then decide what discrete card to get based on how much improvement you need.

 

[batuchka]

Only if 1024 x 768 normal settings is fine wif u ^^ Can also try OCing the IGP Frankly peeps only have to resort to this in my sub $300 configs so with $500 u shouldn't have to hehe
