Solution

Intel i7 CPU doesn’t have the integrated Intel HD Graphics; therefore, you have to use/add an external graphics card.

Actually, you can refer to Intel i3 or i5 processors as below.

Intel i3 CPU: http://ark.intel.com/ProductCollection.aspx?familyID=43129

Intel i5 CPU: http://ark.intel.com/ProductCollection.aspx?familyID=42912

Intel i3-530 / i3-540 / i3-550 and Intel i5-650 / i5-660 / i5-661 / i5-670 / i5-680 processors include the integrated Intel HD Graphics.
