I'm glad you ditched the originally chosen i7-6700K. It's not that it's old, but rather that you can get a new generation, higher performing CPU for LESS MONEY. (And you did.) I agree that the lights and fireworks are a sham. Yes, they're power wasted, but that's not my main objection. Rather...

Keep your eyes on the holiday season specials. And focus on the online offers. You can often get more that way. You can get a lot of machine for $600, even at regular pricing. With black Friday approaching you can likely do even better.

Stick with the name brands. At the moment HP seems to be on a downslide, so I'm recommending Dell. I suggest this...

Yup. Noisy fan? Replace it. Noisy drive? Replace it ... real soon!

If you suspect that the damage was caused by lightning ... call your homeowner's insurance agent and file an insurance claim. Really. Been there, done that. There's no easier (or better) fix. :)

If you have a problem every time you update the drivers ... just stop updating the drivers! Simple.

Your list is a mix of high-end and low-end, old and new ... a total hodge podge. It doesn't make sense to me. So when you say "I'll think it over and choose one of the list I sent" you are really just flipping a coin or rolling the dice. Is that how you want to make your choice?

Does anyone really care who is "number one"? I only care about what I own and use. If I like it then I like it ... regardless of whether it was made by number one or number eighty-seven. The company's "number" doesn't matter to me.

That i5-7400 is at the low-end of the Kaby series. It's not much faster than the 2010-era desktop that I junked last year. So I think that some CPU improvement is in order. So ... can your board handle a replacement CPU? For around $300 you can get an i7-7700K ... but someone else here will...

If you've never before built a PC ... it might be best to have a local computer shop build it for you. I looked into that a year ago and it's likely worth it if you're buying something that is not immediately available from Dell, HP, Asus, etc. But before making that decision you'll need to...

What does it mean "sensitive eyes"?

Given your needs I'd go with this for $610. https://deals.dell.com/productdetail/11i6 Add an SSD if you like and you're still inside your $700 limit. And you get a warranty. And you won't have to build, debug, or troubleshoot. Simple. The days of build-your-own (especially in low-end or...

Replace the pot. (Cleaning it won't help.)

Go to store. Buy new computer. Problem solved. :)

Based on your part pickers listing ... I'd say skip the build. You can get a better desktop from Dell for that money ... with a warranty. And with double the SSD. And an HDD.

I don't buy garbage. I put it out at the curb for pickup and disposal. This guy seems to be SELLING garbage. Don't buy it.

Ink jet printing is suitable for small-scale jobs, limited by the capacity of the ink cartridges. The technology (esp. the implementation of it) is crap. And CIS is a just kludge on top of that crap. If you want more capacity you really need to abandon ink jet and move to a laser printer.

Precisely. What would you offer to me that I cannot already get from Dell or any of a number of other vendors? They can do it faster and cheaper. So what are you going to do better or differently? And, if your venture needs funding, the investors or lenders will want to see a business plan...

You left out one important piece: the OS !

What will your business offer to customers?
