In any case, there are lots of review sites that will give you an idea of the range of fps for a given video card at a given resolution for a variety of games. I gathered some video card reviews that also gave noise levels here. It's mostly targeted at 1080p gaming, but, other lower TDP cards are c...

Thank you all together and each sub-set of for helping clarify these matters! I'd say a working Intel 1155 server board is worth a lot more than $16. Otherwise priced at ~€160.

Supposed to be a better option than the 550 reviewed here?

Thank you!

A good read indeed and read I did
...few years ago already actually, when I searched for and found this site, read many articles. Also read few weeks ago, before registering or posting.

Seemingly more recommended cases didn't seem readily available here.

Carapage
Should a special kind of case be sought?

...Or could there be use of an already present one like in those pictures?
( Can anyone recognize such design or what to call it? )

On the practical side, once you get up past 80W TDP or so, the graphics card will need a fan (or directed airflow) to stay cool...and if your system doesn't have great airflow, even the lesser TDP cards may need a fan. Could issues be similar regarding fannyness of PSUs? RAM: Stick with the first t...

GPU If you plan to game at 1080p, or if your game development is targeted at PC gaming, then you might consider moving up to a higher class of card, otherwise you may be limited on what AA, AF, textures you can resolve at a useable framerate.

What good strategies exist to get it right or what needs attention? ...Ensure that there are enough holes for every part, including some for upgrading and then minimize price?
Is there also an internal connection speed between ports for parts to consider?

Welcome to SPCR. Thank you for being welcoming and for the information|knowledge :) In case of such fanful processors, would passivity and fanlessness of other parts go to waste? In case of a separate GPU, would some K-ness( HD4000 over HD2500 ) of i5-3570K go to waste? Would a non-K become more re...
