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?
