Buy the lowest model with the video cards that you want and send it to them. If you're really savvy with such work, it's possible to buy them and do it yourself.
If that is a concern, have OWC do the work and purchase their extended warranty on it.
AppleCare is good about covering Apple hardware and, more importantly, gives you three years of call-in support.
If you have a motherboard issue, Apple will not void your warranty because you replaced RAM or a drive etc.
If I did the CPU swap, I would not sell the old processor, however. If there was a hardware problem, I would put Humpty back together before I took it in to be diagnosed--if for no other reason than to see if that fixed it.
If you have been around Macs long enough, you will remember when CPU upgrade kits were widely available. I have a 1.2G kit for a G4 that I need to sell. Same AppleCare concerns then, too.

Yes. I remember doing the upgrades
Sounds about right. In any case, I want the Apple Care plan. It comes in handy.
