yes, the gpu should be able to run most of the current games at a pretty good setting.

this is a bit hard, the case and the itx board are already kinda expensive:

well u can try usb dongle for the wifi instead of a wifi card. Other than the build looks good if u can get it..

U can try enquire some of the sellers here idealtech, gbros, lingloong, hikari85, feiton.. etc for the parts as aaron said.

And the quality of their board is decent too. Mine and my friend (Asrock Z77 Extreme 6) are still working very well

budget?

edit-Made some changes on the price for the case and gpu. Sorry about that.

itx board is the small form factor, for example this is Asrock B85M-ITX board:



while M-atx board are slightly larger, has more PCIE slots and memory slots, for example this is Asrock B75 Pro 3 M board:



For ITX case like Jonsbo U3, only an ITX board can fit in.

I took the all the prices from viewnet but there are other vendors like idealtech, gbros, lingloong, cyntrixtech who can offer such services. You can enquire from them if u are interested.

no problem

In actual fact the i5-3470 is slightly faster than the i5-4440 but the i5-4440 is newer (haswell).

the turbo boost makes the CPU run faster when extra performance is needed. it's automatic. for example when performing too many tasks at the same time.

for the dual channel vs single channel memory, there is little difference in real life application. The pros of having dual channel that i can think of is if one of the ram spoil u have another 4gb to back it up.

The black is slightly faster than the blue but both will spoil in the end anyway since both are hdd. I say take the cheaper option and invest on an ssd.

owh, didn't know it has a 5 year warranty . Good consideration to factor it against the Blue

i'll take the haswell since it's a bit cheaper and when intel Broadwell comes out next year u dont have to change your motherboard if u want to upgrade again.

yup , the specs is good enough to perform such tasks. Yup adding an ssd would definitely be a good investment

new graphics card

an AMD R9-290 should be a significant upgrade.
