Just dont, Ive tested out and gaming perfomance hit is high. Since i have riser for it and I've used it for mining, there is a big difference.

An very big YES.
Lean towards haswell, ivy bridge or sandy bridge CPU's. i5-2500, i3-3570, i5-4460/etc.
Usually motherboards are cheap around 40-50$ budget ones and ram kits are avalilable under 50-60$ for 2x4GB.
And since i guess you have cheap PSU also you're gonna have to spend on PSU.

Soo for CPU from 50$-150$
Motherboard 30$-70$
Ram 50$-100$
PSU 30$-60$ (good quality one)
And GPU that you mind to buy or have, and also on haswell generation you get really good playable experience with intergrated graphics.

I find that one issue is also mounting holes for various cases. Different cases seem to differ in mounting hole arrangements.

Does any one know what cases vary in mounting hole design? what cables fit what cases?

This seems to be one of the best cables on the market now https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07997W7PV
