Where are you getting the parts from? Yes I would reload Windows from scratch.

How much of a gamer are you? You could not get a dedicated card but I think your build is alright (extra $30 for that CPU is better IMHO).

Well you could use the onboard Intel HD graphics but I would go with what you have (albeit the CPU- I would get the one in the link IMHO)

Although Windows 7 is much more tolerant of hardware changes ...I'd still do a nuke 'n pave.
