My computer has an integrated chipset on the motherboard and I am planning on installing a new graphics card. Will the computer run both the chipset and graphics card, or will it automatically switch over and use only the graphics card? And if it uses both the chipset and graphics card, will this increase my graphics performance compared to if I had only a graphics card and no chipset on my motherboard?

I am building a computer and I cannot decide which graphics card to get. So far it looks like everything is pointing towards the geforce over radeon. I was originally looking at getting an ati radeon x1900 xtx, but pushed more towards the geforce 7900 gtx. Then, I have also been reading about the new DirectX 10 coming out soon. I need a graphics card so I am not sure whether to get a decent cheaper card for now and then buy later or just buy a good one now. I was even debating getting a good graphics card now and then buying a good graphics card later that supports DirectX 10 (Would they be campatible and work together?) What should I get? I dont mind getting a good graphics card right now, if it is worth it. I will have the asus m2n32-sli deluxe motherboard running an AMD 4600 processor. I am planning on doing serious film editing and possible gaming.
