Thanks for your suggestion. That means Graphics processing is done in the CPU and not the Motherboard. It is purely dependent on CPU not the Motherboard. Motherboard is just having interface(HDMI, DVI..) connectivity. Please correct me if I wrong.

Instead of such heavyweight SMPS,Cabinet and UPS, why not go for a simple 1.5k Cabinet (which includes SMPS) ? Since its not a heavy gaming rig.
