What video card should I buy for new system

I am building a new system not for gaming, just for business apps and was wondering what would be a good video card to get.

I planning on buying the following hardware, but unsure on the mobo and video card. I was looking at the Asus K8S-MX which has a built in video, I have never built a box with a built in video so Im not sure if that is a good route to go or to go with the Asus K8N and get a seperate video card. Any suggestions?

The rest of the hardware is
AMD 64 3200+
Corsair Value Select 512MB PC-3200
80 Gig Seagate Barracuda SATA II
MGE Viper case w/ 500W PS

Any suggestions?
 
Integrated video is always weak when compared to a separate card, so unless you're on a tight budget, get a decent video card. I'd get the Asus K8N and a midrange graphics card, like the 6600GT. It's not that expensive, and it gives you solid performance for the money.
 
Edit, sorry triggered response.

Any photoshop or cad?

If only internet and aps like word, etc. then any card you choose even a geforce 3, rad 8500, or a matrox would work. Are you looking for any specific feature such as dual dvi, tv in/out?
 
He s not playing games...read...as for the question goes...if no games is involved an no graphical apps are involved either integrated video is an option...actually you could save some if you downgrade on processor and halve the memory too...if the applications are not too intensive....what kind of programs will you be using?
