I may need a AM3+ motherboard.

Im looking for advice on a motherboard for my first build. I was looking around on the netz for a possible bundle because I know I want an AMD Phenom II 965 quad core processor but there doesn't seem to be one without an integrated video card. I'm still not sure if an integrated video card would be too bad or if I'm handing over extra for something I'm gonna bypass anyway because I definitely want a dedicated. Also, I'm gonna want an ATX cuz I'm old school like that. I probably won't overclock unless I find a sick bundle with a CPU cooler. Mostly I'm just a casual gamer who wants frame rate but I may get into more PC gaming after my build not sure. Currently using a laptop with a dual core and no dedicated graphics card so I haven't been able to try. Any info at all will be of great help

Rig (so far):

CPU: AMD Phenom II 965 quad core

CPU Speed: 3.4 GHz

GPU: Most likely an AMD Radeon 6670 1 GB 128-bit

RAM: 8 GB (2x 4GB) DDR3

Case: CoolerMaster RAF mid-tower ATX

Power Supply: 600w

Hard Drive: not sure yet, definitely mechanical, 1-2TB

and probably just a standard cd/DVD disk drive

Looks like what I need. One thing though, im gonna want some dual monitor action so idk if the integrated ATI Radeon hd 4250 could support that. I'd have to toss a dedicated gpu on this beast. If I do would the 4250 just sit there gathering dust or would they work together?
