Ghz is the speed of the processor to do tasks, not to get into technical speak but it is similar to speed of a car. the higher the number the faster it works.
core is one processor, 3 core is 3 cores on one chip, each one runs at 2.1 ghz. Similar to 3 engines.
Graphics card is needed for high level processing of graphics on your screen. It frees up the cpu from this job, and thereby increases the efficiency of the pc overall. It is necessary if you plan on gaming.
It depends on what you will use the pc for, if you need one. Notice much of teh content on the web, (flash, java, etc.) might cause your pc to slow down on many pages, this is where a dedicated card for graphics would come in.
If you can live without one it is fine though.
