On board graphics

Ive been wanting to buy the GA-965P-DS3 for my E6300 core 2 duo, but it has on board graphics. Would i be better off buying the GA-965P-S3 since i will be using a graphics card?
Im not really looking to overclock and want to by an average board for average money (i.e. under £100).

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

i thought the DS3 didnt have on board graphics? , the "D" stands for the solid capacitors which last longer than the normal capacitors on the S3

Perhaps he's looking at this board from a site other than overclockers?
