I am building a pc that will be mostly used for pro tools 11. I have never done this before and would like a little advice about the build. One of my main concerns is do I actually need to invest into a GPU or will the HD 530 integrated be enough. Any help or suggestions is appreciated.

Here's the current build:
CPU: I5 6500
Motherboard: ASUS H110m
RAM: rip jaws ddr4 16 gb (2x8) 2400
Storage: 120 gb ssd
1 tb 7200 rpm HDD
PSU: EVGA 500w 80+ certified

The budget is $600
 
From: http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/compatibility/Pro-Tools-11-System-Requirements
Pro Tools HD 11 requires 64-bit Windows operating systems <<=== you need 64 bit
iLok 2: Original iLok 1 not supported
Avid Audio Interfaces, Peripherals, and Control Surfaces
Audio Drive Requirements: One or More Hard Disk Drives Dedicated for Audio Record and Playback <<---- you need 2 drives
System Hard Drive: Minimum 15GB free space on startup drive required for Pro Tools installation
Graphics Card: Dedicated Graphics Card highly recommended <<---- integrated video might not be enough. But the only cards that seem to work are recent Nvidia GT, GTX, and Quadro series. I did not see a supported card list.

Video Peripherals
Third Party Audio Interfaces
Audio File Type & Session Support:
Supported: BWF, AIFF, MXF
Not Supported: SD2 audio files and Pro Tools 4.x sessions and lower
​Pro Tools 10.3.6 or higher automatically converts SD2 audio files to compatible audio files

Yea I couldn't either, I was gonna just get a gt 710 and throw it in their but I'm trying to keep it as low cost as I can. I believe the benchmarks say that the integrated HD 530 is actually slightly better than a gt 710, but I'm sure that having a separate gpu always helps.
