HD3000 will be perfect for your needs. It can also drive 3 displays if need be.
ChiefWizard said:If you really want a discrete card the HD 6670 is a very capable card that I've put in builds for a lot of people (granted under windows). It can drive 3 1080p monitors just fine (just don't plan on playing any games on all 3) and handles heavy graphical work a lot better than the integrated graphics. I recently bought one on sale from newegg for $62. That would give you some room to buy the 2500K if your really wanting both.
(though I am basing this off its performance in windows, Ubuntu and arch linux).
I have a HD 5770 in my hack and it even seems to be overkill even with 3 monitors. Though as Gordo74 said the integrated 3000 would be sufficient for anything non graphically heavy.
Just my $0.02
