I am getting a PC with a default graphics card. The graphics card is an AMD integrated graphics card with DVI-D. Eventually I want to get a GeForce GTX 650. Will I be able to swap out the cards? Thank you.

What are the specs of your PC? You also want to make sure that your powersupply will be able to power the 650.

You can't 'swap out' an integrated GPU. It's part of the processor. When you install a graphics card like that GTX 650, the integrated GPU will not function.

Your PSU will run that GTX 650.

The best option is to go with the best GPU you can depending on your budget. The GTX 650 is a huge upgrade over the integrated graphics you have right now. I highly recommend going with that if you cant go with anything higher.

haha lol. If you have a gpu in the CPU...u cant remove it. Just add a 650 and plug the dvi cable in the GPU and not the motherboard and there you go...I suggest 500w although yours is still good.
