"Graphical Interace" is just a target in systemd, it has nothing to do with your hardware. All services that need/provide graphical output should be started here. If it is empty, booting to graphical.target is much the same as booting to multi-user.target. Think of it as runlevel 3 and runlevel 5 if you have experience with sysvinit.
If you want to change the default target (~= runlevel), call e.g.

systemctl set-default multi-user.target

Rip what he said. Just don't install X or related packages and there is not GUI available.

I install a clean archlinux. only "base" and ssh were installed. no xorg packages were installed.

There you go then.

I found a solution. Add graphic and sound modules to blackllist. for example:

blacklist radeon
blacklist snd-hda-intel

Arch Linux
