please dumb this down for me! what does it mean when it says "Supported only by CPU with integrated graphic" on a motherboard specs?? can i still add a graphics card to it?

what would be the best motherboard for the Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155? i'd prefer something under $200 on newegg.com

please be very simple with explaining! :)

Yes you can put a dedicated graphics card in.

It means the CPU has to provide the actual graphics.

For instance, the i5-3570 has integrated graphics. It passes the video signal to the motherboard circuitry, which then passes it to the monitor.
A CPU without integrated graphics....no dice.
