No it doesnt, never use inbuilt SMPS if you are gonna add a GPU later on..
Consider getting a CX430v2 or Antec VP450 for 2.6k..
You may use a higher end Zebby PSU if u cant extend but dont use a GPU with it

You could have Googled it. Yes it does and so does all Intel processor's boards (not sure about Xeon).

Some intel mobo does not have vga port just like my intel dh77eb.

If I go with PSU then should i consider minimum 550 watts for future proof ?

Please let me know PSU for around 3.5K

Mention your complete rig. BTW for 3.5k, try to find a CX500v2 locally or spend a few 100s more and go for Seasonic S12II 420W
