    I have a quick question, suppose, if my motherboard is replaced, then GPU will also get replaced?

    Edit: I think that it is prebuilt in MB, but still I want to get sure.

    Yeah, since the GPU is most often soldered to the motherboard.

    What I'm thinking about is if there is any fault I can find that would get me a new motherboard, they don't offer the hd3670 on the site so I guess that means they don't have any left. Therefor, if I have a fault they have to replace it with one which is as good or better than the one I had before which means I would get the hd4670

    They will have a stock of replacement mobos with the ATI 3670.

    Also the US is still selling SXPS 1640s with the 3670.

    That's a bit ironic.
    If your outside the US you can't get a screen in Europe wich they only deliver in the US. But if your motherboard is broken, you'll get the piece straight from the US because they don't have it in Europe. :p
