I'd say Intel VGA embedded chipsets are not the optimal solution for 3D
or advanced rendering options which require hardware acceleration. I
would go for a dedicated VGA card (nvidia, ati) or look for an AMD board
which features a better graphical integrated solutions.
If you only need it for playing old-games (legacy), any modern card (even
Intel ones) should be fine but for most modern games you will require a
more capable VGA card.
