intel® core™i5 quad core processor i5-3470 (3.2ghz) 6mb cache

the cpu has integrated graphics (on-die gpu), not motherboard..;)

check out @ intel's page, intel® core™ i5-3470 processor (6m cache, 3.60 ghz); it's: intel® hd graphics 2500

ps.
shouldn't other processor intel hd 4000 graphics , fastest possible ram - , loads of it, @ least 4-6 gb minimum; graphics performance largely depend on it. you're gonna want 1600mhz ddr3 minimum.

pps.
i'd suggest getting msi motherboard, "military class iii" model, run hd 4000 cpu:

• msi z77 mpower
• msi z77a-gd65

edit: sorz, edit; gotta research, example - right on board - [ubuntu] increase shared memory graphics card
