Is the graphics core of the processor enough for comfortable work in Photoshop or is a separate video card needed?

Now we are assembling a PC for work (web design). In outline:

  • Processor Intel Core i7-7700K
  • 16GB RAM,
  • ssd 250gb
  • hard 1TB
  • without video card

The assembler says that a video card is not needed to work in Photoshop, that the graphics core of the processor is enough. Somehow I doubt it.
Questions:
1) Is the graphics core of the processor enough for comfortable work in Photoshop and other programs for design development?
2) Are there any other important points that need to be taken into account when assembling for my tasks? It seems that I follow the advice about which they write everywhere: more ssd, RAM, i5 / i7. Maybe something else?
ps in hardware, a complete zero, I don’t understand at all (
Thanks in advance to everyone for the answers!

Enough for photoshop, for after effects - doubtfully
I do not advise I5, if you use all the possibilities of photoshop. I have an i5 6500, today I stitched panoramas in auto mode using the photomerge script. I loaded all 4 cores at 100% for 15 minutes exactly, the system lost responsiveness until I selected one core through the dispatcher. The final panorama size is ~ 6000*4000 px.

The processor is enough for the eyes for typical tasks.
If your non-typical tasks would require a separate video card, you would know.

Take a card and be sure to GTX GeForce from nVidia.
Now everything is graph. programs (including photoshop) - work with CUDA, so it's absolutely not worth giving up performance.
Take Asus STRIX more powerfully and that's it.

Buy yourself a lightweight video card like Asus PCI-Ex GeForce GT 1030 Phoenix OC 2GB GDDR5 (64bit) (1252/6008) (DVI, HDMI) (PH-GT1030-O2G), and if it’s more powerful, then
MSI PCI-Ex GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GAMING X 4GB GDDR5 (128bit) (1354/7008) (DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort) (GTX 1050 TI GAMING X 4G).
The video card is important in graphics, but the most, most emphasis on it is not necessary.
