CPU, for Power management, see here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks...nagement-sandy-bridge-ivy-bridge-laptops.html

Graphics: In Bios, disable the AMD. You have to force your PC to use the integrated one only. You shouldn't have problems with HD4000. Probably you will get it to work correctly using
Code:
IGPEnabler=Yes IGPlatformID=01660003

Audio: I don't think it would work OOB. After you have installed Mavericks and if audio is not working, search in the forum. A patched AppleHDA.kext solution is usually better than VoodooHDA.kext.

Ethernet: I don't know. Search in the forum if someone has the same card. Don't use the name, but search by vendor and device id and you will be sure to find someone with your card.

Touchpad: I don't know. Search... I had an Elantech Touchpad in the past and someone was working to a kext.

Camera: probably it is connected via USB, so it should work. But you will be sure only trying.

After that you have to think about:

So WiFi won't work after Mavericks is installed on my system ?

Thank You for your efforts guys ! :)

Your WiFi seems to be Intel. It is not supported by OS X. You will need to replace it.

Here is the picture of my network cards used on my laptop. And apologies for asking such a vague question before.

Well, here it is BCM, not Intel. So who knows... Run DPCIManager once in OS X or run 'lspci -nn' in Linux to find out for sure.
 
can any one tell me how to config the ethernet connection
