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.
