You might actually need to get a graphics card. I don't think there is on-board graphics for that processor. Everything else is probably fine.

TS's didn't specify the kind of tasks he is going to use.

For office or general use, Intel HD on Haswell is more than enough to get you through the day.

p/s: just noticed that the display I/O of the mobo kind of sucks, and the mobo is too pricy. Get some cheaper B85 from Asrock/MSI if possible.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was according to the price in C-Zone website. They dont have a cheap B85 ITX board. Can you suggest me a better store in lowyat?

Looks for mATX/ATX, ITX is redundant and not practical if you have a decently sized casing.

Looks for shops which carry Asrock brand, their price should differ much and are generally cheaper than Asus for sure.

Sorry to mention the casing is CM Elite 110 ITX casing.

The desktop is for office usage only so i went for the smallest size. so mATX is better?

I chose Asus because its a better brand and last longer? So better go for ASRock?

Oh, you should had mentioned H81I Plus instead.

Brand don't really matter much nowadays. The durability of a product is mostly depending on your luck and usage. A reputable brand can still have sucky products under their profile. A brand good at making high end product also don't mean they sell good low end product.

I short, find whichever cheaper and have better warranty.
