Can my system work properly without a GPU?

[Zefues]

The CPU is an i3-4330 and the motherboard is a MSI B85l Mini ITX

it does have on board graphics,... just dont expect to game with them much 

[DannyRyu]

yes but can't really game on it.

My friend thinks he knows it all and we betted. Let's say tomorrow i'll be 20 bucks richer.

Yes it will function like a regular PC

 

You only need a GPU if you intend to game or run graphics intensive programs

You can browse internet, watch videos and even play minecraft!

Yup. And again, a dedicated GPU would only make it better in some scenarios, like games, but is in no way crucial.

Okay, a PC HAS to have a GPU to display ANYTHING at all.  Otherwise computers are just 1960's machines with buttons and lights that tell you when something is right or wrong (much like in a car today, the computer checks the oxygen sensor and turns the check engine light on if it isn't within tolerance.)  Thus the computer in the car works without any question.

 

So your friend is right and you are right.  A computer CAN work without any GPU, but a computer can not display anything without a GPU.

 

Here is the situation, your setup, the MSI motherboard and the Intel Core i3, HAS a GPU.  Although it doesn't have storage and or RAM and other components.  The GPU you have is integrated on the Intel i3.  But none the less it is A FULL GPU.  It is not a Video Card though.
