Help with GPU decision!

Hello I believe this may be the spot for this post if not then I apologize.

 

I plan starting three computer builds one for gaming, one to use for streaming and editing videos, and a third for my school work. My current one (which I'm typing on) is beyond out of date and seriously needs a complete overhaul. Though it will work until I have the Gaming rig set up. This is due to most of the clutter being either moved over, saved on external drives, or simply deleted. So this computer will be bought post my gaming rig so parts are subject to change. The reason I'm not using the editing rig for school computer is because my editing rig will be in a different room than my bedroom. I plan on converting my garage into two separate rooms one dedicated for gaming/streaming. This is where the two more expensive rigs will go to safe guard them against pet hair and such. I find it much more comfortable to do my school work in my bedroom rather than outside of it. I honestly have no idea why. Not to mention I think sitting in a desk chair and working at a desk is much more preferred than working in an Obutton R3volution gaming cockpit.

 

Currently I'm looking at:

CPU: Ryzen 1600 3.2 Ghz processor

Motherboard: ASRock - AB350M Pro4 Micro ATX AM$ Motherboard

Memory: G. Skill Value 16 GB (4x4)

 

I think this is what you guys will need to answer my question. Since this board has integrated graphic would I need a graphics card to run such programs like Microsoft word, power point, and excel? Would it be a much pleasurable experience or will it matter? How much would your recommend me spend on said graphics card and what kind would be best for a cheaper computer? Would integrated graphics allow me to run two monitors, a setup I've grown accustomed to?

 

While budget should not be a limiting factor I still need to save up to it and I'm a college student so that is simply not the easiest thing to do. Though if it would be better to run a graphics card then ill simply roll with the punches and do what needs to be done.

 

NOTE: NO GAMES WILL BE PLAYED ON THIS MACHINE.

Only powerpoint would benefit from a 1030 or a 1050.

If you want to use integrated graphics you'll need an APU like the 2200G, not a regular Ryzen CPU as they have no integrated graphics.

why not build just one that can do all that...?
