hi friends
i shifted my gaming rig to my college so building a new rig.need suggestions on the cpu- mobo combo badly.just one thing-my hd 7850 will be coming within 1 month or later due to shortage of my wallet...so i was hoping if the hd 4000 can handle semi-modern games especially cod mw2 and prototype.and yeah...know that amd apu are kinda better via graphics but i am intel fanboy...so want any ivy i5. the best i can hope is what hd 4k can do.so please help.

budget - 375$ for the combo
mobo should have pcie 3.0 sata 3.0 and usb 3.0 as must
oc / sli / crossfirex not needed
 
Matching the Intel® Core™ i5-3570K with the ASRock Z77 Extreme4 will give you a good system that fits within your budget. The performance on the Intel HD 4000 are going enough to run a number of games at mid level setting. I would advise that you assign around 1GB of memory to power the graphics if you are going to go with this path. Here is some additional information on the Intel HD graphics http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/quick-reference-guide-to-intel-processor-graphics
