Can I Upgrade This?

To cut back on the cost of a gaminc pc I'm building, could I just get a mobo with onboard video and upgrade to a good video card later on? I'm going to use the following parts:

So couldn't I just buy this mobo with onboard video, and then when I get more money buy a Powercolor Radeon 9600XT? I've heard that I would have to get a different mobo, and possibly different RAM along with the video card! Why can't I just upgrade the video card and be on my happy way? Or can I?

None of the replies answered my question!!

All I really need is a simple "yes" or "no" on whether or not you can upgrade a motherboard with a video card if it already has onboard video - without buying anything else.

yes. as long as it has a agp slot ,when you get your vid card, stick it in, disable onboard vid in bios and install drivers

Thank you, that was exactly the answer I needed.
