AM3/+ Motherboard with Integrated Graphics
Is there a motherbaord that offers integrated graphics within the socket am3/+ region?
AM3/+ Motherboard with Integrated Graphics

Yes there is quite a range, one that immediately springs to mind and at good value is the GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-S2P AMD760G it offers AMD 3000 Radeon graphics but as im a NVIDIA user im not sure what it offers in terms of performance but any integrated graphics are going to be low-end compared to dedicated cards.
Im a bit of a Gigabyte Fanboy so i'd suggest any one of the AM3+ boards they offer with integrated graphics.
Another suggestion i could offer would be to go for one of AMD's new APU's which is a CPU/GPU in 1 chip theyre reasonably affordable and the motherboards that run them (FM1 or FM2 Sockets) are equally affordable.
But ultimately i would suggest along with many others to go for a dedicated graphics card as long as the board you have or are getting along with your power supply are equipped to run it, even if its a low end GT630.
Here is a link of a video card heirachy chart that helps determine performance of integrated video with dedicated that should help you make a decision.

is theer any with a 970 chipset

Unfortunately no the 9XX series of AMD boards do not run integrated as they are "performance" boards and most users likely run dedicated.
From what i have seen only up the 890 series support integrated graphics and only a select few of those boards will run Bulldozer (AM3+) and even harder to find one with a BIOS that will support the new Vishera chips.
ASRock > 890GX Extreme4 R2.0 < AM3+ with AMD 4290 Graphics but im not sure about value as my supplier doesnt stock these anymore.
GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3+ - GA-880GMA-USB3 (rev. 3.1) < AM3+ with AMD 4250 Graphics i believe and probably better value than the 890.
ASRock > 880GMH/U3S3 < AM3+ also with 4250 onboard but am not sure which is of better value between ASrock and Gigabyte as i said my supllier doesnt stock 880/890.
Hope this helps.

I wouldn't use a motherboard with onboard graphics. The performance of them is laughable and not worth the time to remove from the box.

Whilst you are not going to get the performance associated with the newest graphics cards available, built-in graphics are more than capable for light to moderate gaming and office work. In fact, the built-in graphics performance of most modern motherboards that provide it is equal (or, in some cases, exceeds) that yielded by cards that were top of their range a few generations ago.
An obvious advantage of having built-in graphics is that you have an easy means of getting your system back up and running should your graphics card fail. In addition, if you are contemplating a new build and are on a tight budget, choosing a board with built-in graphics will allow you to get your system up and running, giving you chance to save up for that important card.

btw has a phenom IIx4 965 be got anyform of intergrated graphics

The PhenomII x4 965 is a CPU so no it doesnt have integrated graphics only the AMD APU's are a cpu/gpu chip integrated graphics come on the motherboard itself.
And yes dwarf is right if your smart about what you buy you can build yourself a good value pc with integrated graphics that will run almost all modern games albeit at medium to low settings but still better than a 360 at 30fps.
Use that graphics card hierachy chart and that can help you determine the performance gap's between onboard vs dedicated and what your willing to pay.

The only AMD CPU's with integrated graphics at this time are the A series.
As far as any boards with integrated graphics for Phenom/Bulldozer/Piledriver, there are none in the 970/990 based boards. The boards that do I wouldn't look at anything less than the 880G/890G based boards, and then they also have a small problem. The graphics on the boards have all been declared legacy just like their desktop counterparts (HD 4xxx and down), and as a result are not likely to see much (if any) in the way of driver updates.
If you want integrated graphics, go for an A series CPU and motherboard. You want an AM3+ CPU, go for any of the 970/990 based board and get a video card.

so i would have to use my x1600 pro(Minecraft@40fps) untill i get a new card, oh well its something im willing to sacrifice for a few months(also what is the 5800k like)
