Integrated graphics aren't intended for gaming. If you want decent graphics performance get a dedicated graphics card.

Everything else looks compatible.

If you aren't a hardcore gamer, then get the i5 4570. I'd still recommend a GPU if you want to game. Like a GTX 660. I'd stay away from MSI boards. Get ASUS if you can. You also need an SSD or Hard drive if you don't already have one.

The MSi boards are fine.

hhpark- could you please spec out your entire system at pcpartpicker.com? Makes all our lives easier, and lets you find the best prices.

Yep, we'd also need your OS drive, and you should get a graphics card if you plan to game.

What's your budget?

So far though, all of your parts are compatible.
