Any suggestions on graphics?  Are onboard graphics to the point where i wouldnt have to worry about a discrete card?

Yes, if you’re starting fresh onboard graphics is more than enough unless you are planning to play a lot of games. Both AMD’s Llano and Intel’s Sandy Bridge (SNB) IPGs are excellent choices. Personally I prefer SNB because it’s easier to configure and the drivers tend to be more stable. That said, because of the timing I’d say wait for Ivy Bridge (IVB); it will be better in every way compared to SNB (lower power, faster GPU, faster CPU, etc).
