If you don't have the cpu yet, my suggestion is to go with the 1245 v2 as it offers the best bang for the buck. It also includes the HD4000 GPU (same as the i5/i7 Ivy Bridge and with same settings).

  What settings do I use for VIDEO_CARDS= in make.conf? Is "intel" good
enough?

  Also, any special stuff in "make menuconfig"?
