Bought my son the aboved mentioned computer, it has 2 HDMI ports, one is connected to the monitor, the other one states it is an integrated video connector. Can anyone please tell me what is this used for?

Take a look at the quick reference guide:
ftp.dell.com/.../xps-8700_Setup%20Guide_en-us.pdf
On page 2, all of the connectors on the back of the computer are identified -- except for those from a dedicated graphics card.
#18 and #19 are graphics connectors if you do not have a dedicated (aka discrete) graphics card.
the slots indicated by #21 are where a discrete graphics card would be installed and if so the video output on the graphics card is used and the integrated connections are disabled.
hope that makes sense.
