Is the gpu required for the test boot on a maximus hero vii and a 4790k?

I know It has the built gpu, and I'm guessing it's not so good. I'm planning on getting a 780 later to put in it but don't have the money now. that is the only part I have left to get. That being said I get nervous thinking about those 30day warranties and wanted to run a test boot on the system to make sure everything else works.

I have the 4790K as well it will be fine to use that till you get a proper GPU. I actually played Tomb raider 2013 on my system Prior to me getting my GTX 780 TI matrix platinum. I was shocked to see that the onboard GPU could even launch it . It looked crappy but it still played and got me through a few days lol!
