Then I have a laptop with Intel HD 3000, I know it´s quite a crappy card, but I have a lot of games which I can´t even run on it, due to that it´s not supported. I also had a Geforce G 210, the cheapest Nvidia card I could get about a year ago on a desktop I used as a HTPC before I bought my other rig, but it performed quite okay for it´s price compered to my GTX 650Ti.
I would recommend you to get a Nvidia card, even if there´s a Intel card that shows better on benchmarks for the same price.

By the way, I happen to have experience with the i7 version of http://zareason.com/shop/Limbo-5880.html having just bought one in September. It has worked great for me -- so far I love it. I ordered mine without a graphics card, and added a radeon from Newegg. Brief playtests using the builtin Intel graphics, before installing the radeon, showed that it was quite usable for some games. Whether you'll be happy with the builtin graphics depends on what sort of games you play and how high you expect to be able to turn up the graphics settings. It might be worth a try buying Limbo without Nvidia or Radeon, use it for a while, and if you're not satisfied add an Nvidia graphic card later. Installing a PCIe card is not that hard; you can find somebody at your local LUG to help if you're not confident doing it by yourself yet.

The situation for free Nvidia drivers might start improving next year, since Nvidia actually started releasing some docs (though nothing that solves the big nouveau problems yet), but I'm guessing it will take a while for them to achieve parity with radeon even after some relevant documentation gets released.

In the realm of proprietary drivers, I suspect Linux Catalyst driver is also going to be improving rapidly thanks to Valve's influence on behalf of SteamBoxes like the one posted earlier... gap could be narrowing in both directions.

At $200 dollars off I can't pass it up; looks to be fairly well equipped for gaming :D

Were you that opposed to building your own system? Just wondering of course.
