This configuration cost me about 850€...
I want to create a machine that will mine altcoins with revenue and for now my extra budget cound be an extra... 2000€-3000€

I ordered yesterday as well an antminer D3.

At best, your existing configuration could host 3 graphics cards with risers (you'd need to remove it from the case, however). You could attempt to use one of those PCIe splitter cards, which are often strategically priced at below the cost of a new motherboard with more slots, but those give mixed results on various motherboards.

If your budget really is that high, I'd recommend buying another motherboard, and, if you're not using your existing system for other purposes, taking some components from it.

Integrated graphics, at least in my experience, never offer a sufficient hashrate and I typically stick with GPU mining. Have you tried hasing for altcoins and if so what were your speeds?

Yes, this configuration is with and integrated card...

well to start off. you need a bad ass GPU for better speed so start with figuring out what GPU can fit with your budget also consider that when you add more GPU the more watts you need so upgrade your power supply too. Last but not the least, where do you put all that gpu in? so you also need a motherboard that can handle all the GPU try to look for mobo that has better number of PCI slots.
