Looks good.

a micro atx mobo will fit in almost any case, as they are pretty small

anyone got some idea as to amount of stress streaming would be on my G network?

should I upgrade my network to N?
is N finalized? or is it still draft-N?

bleh, my 6800gt upgrade was also a bust..... not enough watts + proprietary psu(its tiny!) so can't upgrade

so, think MX440 can play hd content smoothly?

That board looks pretty good...the only thing I could think of wrong with it is that it doesn't have any rear connections for like firewire or esata...but if that is not a big deal for ya I would go for it...I used a similar Foxconn board for my nieces computer ...She just started to HS this year so I built her a new computer...
I also did a build for myself recently with a 780g chipset mobo but it was from gigabyte...GA-MA78GM....what is cool about the onboard graphics is that it is pretty easy to overclock and pretty stable too...

Looks like a good build to me
