As for you graphics card, check www.freebsd.org for a list supported hardware. In general, most recent graphics cards should work with FreeBSD; this does not depend on FreeBSD alone, though, your graphics card has to be supported by XFree86 most probably, so you want to check www.xfree.org or what their web-site is. xfree.org or xfree86.org, I think. If I was to get a new graphics adapter, I'd choose something by Matrox or a GeForce-based card.
