ok I have an emachine et1331g-07w with an aftermarket NVidia gt 220 installed (yes I know pushing the power limit of the stock power supply and honestly it cant handle much more with out a massive upgrade to it that would basically cost a new from scratch build in time and money)
so that is what I want to do a "new build" for a new builder. I've done some research and the i5 4430's onboard graphics is on par with or not better then the gt 220 so even with out a new graphics card right now I could play all the games I play currently (slightly better in most cases). so instead of spending money now on a new graphics card I would rather take my 800 or so budget and push the other components with the idea of getting a new graphics card down the road say march or April when income tax checks come out and ill have a decent chunk of money to throw at a good card.
so here is what I plan to buy in December and my main question is will these components work together or do I need to change them out. my sub question is are there any inherent problems with these parts in failure rates or just bad design that I should avoid these particular models?

I would prefer to use a single merchant so 794 would be the new egg price for all items (they are often the only one merchant to have all the parts I look at when I try to come up with a build).
thank you for your time and input as I am not close to being an expert on this (I would go with an oc able cpu but I have never overclocked and honestly don't know where to start to do that so probably best that I just don't for now at least)
