Hi there,
I plan to build a computer and have found the parts that (I think) I want and need. Could you please have a look through and let me know what you think? Comments and suggestions are welcome since this is my first born and my computing knowledge is minimal. I will simply use this for Microsoft PPT, Word, Excel, some basic software to edit images (contrast, saturation, brightness etc.), and to go online (no gaming etc). This has simply been a fun project for me.
Looking forward to your feedback!
Ps – The cheaper the batter, providing we don’t compromise on necessary quality.

Reviews talk of the CD drive. I have an external one, but would you recommend I buy an internal one?
I am not set on this case, I don’t really mind what it looks like, as long as it is practical.

Seems like a good deal, but the eBay auction ends soon. I need to check if the screen has a HDMI input to match the motherboard, waiting for the seller to reply. In the case that it does not, would it be worth buying the converter rather than the display with HDMI input? As these seem quite expensive.
