Hey guys,
I'm planning to downsize my desktop to a mini ITX and would need some help here with the gfx and casing

GFX
- CPU i'm getting - Intel i5 4440 / 4670k
- Current GFX - ATI HD5850 1GB
- Usage - mainly Photoshop and slight gaming
Qns: The Intel onboard or the 5850 will perform better for my needs? As I can't seem to find a direct comparison online.

Casing
- Need recommendation on casings
- Able to hold at least 1x SSD and 3x 3.5" HDD
- Able to hold ATX PSU
- Able to a decent GFX
- Front USB3 ports
- Able to hit cosair watercooling kit (BONUS - not yet decided on getting watercooling)

Thanks in advance!

of course 5850 faster than intel HD. For photoshop, you using CPU so gfx card doesn't matter. Not sure if 5850 supports openCL though.
