I too have this MB (rev1.0) and processor.no dedicated graphics card.
I can confirm that the HD4000 is quite adequate for most.
I installed xbmc and streaming full HD movies from my synology is no problem. Heavy gaming is something I will not do. So I'd always test the HD4000 first and only buy a dedicated graphics card if it does not suffice.

I use the very expensive dealextreme BT dongle $1.80 and it works perfectly:

Sleep also works fine.
