The in-built microphone in my laptop (gigabyte aero 14) wasn't working today, so I tried the microphone built into my headphones and that didn't work either, but a usb mic did. I then checked for driver updates (realtek audio) and mine were up to date, so I uninstalled and reinstalled them and...

I know this is definitely not the best solution but it's the one I want to go for. Is it possible?

And you need a case because of you don't it will be classed as a workstation not a pc

Also 16gb ram is meant for extreme video editing like adobe after effects. You can swap this out for 8gb and spent that money on something like a secondary hdd which will come in handy since 128gb isn't much.

The gtx 650 isn't very good for gaming i would go for a much cheaper core. like an i3 4340 (if you are doing this swap the motherboard for a socket 1150), spend the money instead on a much more powerful gpu. Don't worry about bottlenecks because this core is a powerhouse and can handle anything...

The case only has 6 expansion slots, it needs 7 to be classed as ATX, so it is a microATX case.

This is a good pc for gaming. For a motherboard you should buy an AM3+ motherboard with PCI express 3.0. It should come from a trusted manufacturer like asus, msi or gigabyte.
