I'd really prefer non-integrated graphic cards, just because I don't want to deal with putting in a new motherboard. I'm not sure how hard that is, though.

not hard.

you unplug everything, unscrew the mounts, put in the new board, plug everything back in, reboot and set bios settings, done

Provided that everything is compatible, yes. It's really not THAT easy to retrofit a pre-built PC. It's not HARD, but it's not as simple as you make it sound.

and yeah, I ignored the fact that you need to driver install/updates and an OS reinstall isnt a bad idea either.

i was talking from a hardware installation perspective.

I believe he meant compatibility to be more form factor rather than driver updates and a OS install... Socket type, accepted memory, and general dimensions of new motherboard MUST be known before just slapping a new one in there.
