Is my hard ware sufficient?

Please correct me if I'm wrong:
GNOME (or KDE) in included in FreeBSD downloaded file but it isn't installed by default, but it can be installed during installation process if I want to.
If I'm wrong, does this mean that I have to connect to Internet during FreeBSD installation?
Thanks.

I suppose it depends on the graphics card model, but probably.
Check that hardware compatibility list.  In this case it would
be compatibility with Xorg since that is the display/graphics system.

It is not bundled.  Almost nothing is bundled.
But it is available in ports and installing it is one of the
special options during a standard installtion.
