Stillfreefilms, have a look here: Graphics Card - Install New Card
Having integrated graphics is NOT a hindrance (in some cases it is an asset), and the GFX card will always override it.
About the CPU, I recommend you pick out your CPU beforehand. For instance, certain CPUs have certain socket types, and Intel and AMD have different sockets.
If you wanted a Core 2 Quad (like mine) you would get a LGA 775 socket. If you wanted an i7, you would need it's socket.

ok i think these would go together nicely i think....

If you're going to buy a new system based on an AM3 CPU, you should buy a board that has native AM3 support, with DDR3 RAM, rather than DDR2. With the M4N78-SE, if you want to get faster RAM, you would need to junk the board and buy a new one to support DDR3.
Since this is a new build, you're better off going with a DDR3 based board, IMO.
EDIT: The M4A77TD you were looking at on the last page is a much better board, btw, and if you can afford it, I would buy a Phenom, rather than an Athlon II. Just me, but that's what I would do.
yeah it is i forgot about that one.....lol and can i use the AMD Athlon II x2 250 dual core processor with the M4A77TD motherboard?

Inexpensive, CoolMaster durability, nice appearance, good air flow options, tool less design. Check out the ratings for it on newegg.
Yes you can. If you're just thinking about going with a dual core, have you looked at this one?
AMD Phenom II X2 550 Dual Core (3.1GHz) - AM3, 1MB L2 Cache, 6MB L3 Cache, 42nm, 80W - Boxed (HDX550WFGMBOX) | Techbuy Australia
I know it's a little bit more money, but the performance will be better than the Athlon II 250. It has a larger cache and that will give you a little bit more speed.
