  That comes to $514, including shipping and before rebates.

  You'll use the integrated graphics, since that's basically what you get on your budget.  But it will be a lot faster than your laptop; integrated graphics aren't only the ultra low end, the way that they were years ago.

  The motherboard is Socket FM2+, so you'll be able to upgrade the CPU to Kaveri (which hasn't launched yet) someday if you want to.  You'll also be able to add a discrete video card eventually if you have the money and want more GPU performance.

  Thank you very much Quizzical . This was very helpful    Where exactly is the graphics card in this setup ? Would it also be ok if I used windows 7 instead of 8.

  If you prefer Windows 7 over 8, have at it.  It's the same price.  One word of caution is that the CPU architecture didn't launch until long after Windows 7, and did some things very differently from what previous architectures had done.  Windows 8 will handle it appropriately, but in Windows 7, you may lose a little bit of performance in some cases.

  Another thing that you might want to consider is that Kaveri is coming in a month, and that will get you a substantially faster CPU and GPU for about the same price.

  The GPU is in the same chip as the CPU.  It's integrated graphics, but a 384-shader graphics part that tend to perform a little behind a discrete Radeon HD 6670.  So it's not terrible performance, and when you want to fit a $500 budget without loading up on cheap junk parts elsewhere in the system, integrated graphics is the way to do it.
