Hi nekrosoft, thanks for answering. As far as onboard video, the PC should have the ability to play games well. It doesn't have to be bleeding edge (SLI, CrossFire, HD 58xx etc.), but I want to put in at least a 4850 in there. It should have the ability to play say Mass Effect or Assasin's Creed at 1080p ideally. I know that the ATI cards (48xx) have DVI-HDMI adapter that comes in the box and supposedly I can do 5.1 audio over that.
