Just wanted to know if Graphic card plays a vital role or can I get away with built in video from Ivy or Haswell?
 
Only parts of Photoshop are heavily GPU accelerated. Unless you have some specific use profile in mind that heavily benefits from GPU acceleration, I wouldn't worry about getting lots of GPU performance, just something with reasonable performance that supports modern OpenCL and OpenGL APIs.

In other words, I would not buy Ivy. Haswell has much better integrated GPUs, and its processor cores are likewise stronger for compute or Photoshop-type workloads thanks to AVX2. OpenCL will make use of both improvements.
 
Yea I figured I'll get the 4770K for now and maybe down the road pick up a 7790. Current Egg has one going for $109 after rebate with the game bundle. I could probably sell it for $30 or so making it $89.

Thanks guys !
