The mobo is compatible with the CPU. I can't boot without the GPU because it's the only video output the system has. I tried booting with each individual RAM stick and nothing happened.

So I bought this combo on Newegg on sale last week: 1 x ($119.99) AMD FX-6300 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.1GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W Six-Core Desktop Processor FD6300WMHKBOX $119.99 1 x ($119.99) SAPPHIRE 100358L Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video...

All I've ever used is Intel and I've never been disappointed. My opinion might be a bit one-sided, but I would definitely recommend going with Intel.

For gaming performance equal to or better than an Xbox I would recommend a higher-tier graphics card. At least a GTX 660.

What's your build?

I had to do something similar for a friend a while ago, but the integrated GPU was part of his motherboard. Is that what you meant? Because if you have a dedicated GPU your CPU will automatically switch to it when you plug your monitor into the card.

You'll be fine. The case you're looking at is larger than the one you have.

Try looking here http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=30000007%204020&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&Order=BESTMATCH&PageSize=20 There's some decent builds in your price range, but you're not going to find anything with a dedicated graphics card.
