any i5 CPU with HT technology ?
any SB mobo with on-board NEW Intel HD graphics ?

No, i5 does not have HT. So i5 2100, 2300, 2400, 2500 and 2500K do not have HT enabled. They are having 4 Physical cores and can run 4 threads simultaneously.
Only Core i7 processors like i7 2600 and 2600K are having their HT enabled and can run 8 threads simultaneously.

None of the Sandy bridge motherboards are having On-die graphics. In Sandy Bridge architecture the GPU is fused inside the processor die. But for enabling them you have to use motherboards based on H67 chipset.
