Hi,
Motherboard integrated graphics generally give distinctly second rate performance. Do you have any PCI cards you need to bring across? If not I would give serious thought to a PCIexpress mobo. You'll be able to get a PCIexpress graphics card then which will outperform AGP.
How many watts is your PSU? You may find it's not got enough grunt for a new mobo and a nice graphics card. TBH if I'd just had a board do one or more capacitors I would be tempted to replace the PSU just in case it was contributory factor. What does everyone else think?
If you get a board with motherboard attached USB you should be able to connect you existing case sockets with either no trouble or a little cable adjustment.
