CPU processing graphics?

Go to solution Solved by DioOmicida,

The new Skylake CPU's do have integrated graphics. The intel 530.
You wont be doing much gaming aside from League.

I'm building a new PC soon and I'll probably be getting all the parts except for the GPU (non-founder's GTX 1070-because they probably won't be out then). Can i series CPUs act as a graphics processing unit? I'm pretty sure they can(intel integrated graphics), but I haven't had a PC without a dedicated GPU and I just like being 100% certain. :D
