I recently built and am now using a Sandy Bridge system based on an ASUS P8P67-family mainboard. I chose an nVidia graphics card. Note that this particular ASUS board does not include the Intel graphics hardware, so a discrete graphics card is required.
The CPU includes the GPU hardware -- the Chipset (P67) just does not connect it to anything. C.f. Z68, Q67, B67, H67 chipsets ... I hate how Intel arbitrarily castrates is hardware (You only get A with B but only without C and D, or C and with E but not D). Or whatever. The Series 6 Chipsets and Sandy Bridge CPUs are a prime example. -dnh -- Some days, I wish my mind wasn't quite so peculiar.
