First of all, what are your PC specs, such as the ram and CPU?
An integrated graphics card is one which is built into your motherboard.

You only have a pentium 2.8Ghz, but that should be fine to run minecraft on normal settings.
However, I would recommend upgrading your RAM from 1GB to at least 2GB, this well help run Minecraft a lot.
As for the graphics card, if you are looking for a mid range one; I would recommend this You must login or register to view this content. , its not the best, but its good for its price and would be fine running Minecraft

so... what your saying is I should get a 1GB RAM like this: You must login or register to view this content. and a $66 Graphics Card. You know of something a little cheaper? I'm not that good on money right now, and i wanna get a 1TB HDD, since right now im only running 80GB. Btw, you know any site that explains RAM/Graphic cards exchanges/upgrades? I wanna learn

It depends, different PC's have different types of ram, so I'm not entirely sure what type you would need
And yes, there are lower priced budget video cards which you can get, Ill link some in a bit for you
