Hello

Looking to buy today, can you just quickly see that everything is compatible and will work well to make a computer that will open programs quickly, start quickly, and be able to handle a 2560x1440 monitor. There will be very little gaming, maybe Minecraft once a month but usually just Youtube and Outlook :) and maybe some quad core programs, that's why ive gone for the i5.

i5 4570 $225
ASRock H87-M-PRO4 $99 (This is miniATX)
G.Skill 8GB 1600mHz $89
Sandisk Extreme SSD 120GB $115
WD Blue 1TB $75
Pioneer DVD 24x $25
Thermalake Black Versa II w/ 500W

Thankyou.
 
I might suggest mild dedicated graphics, though i dont know how good intel's engine is, you may be able to run minecraft on low settings fine i think..
 
That's a nice case but I'm leery of cases with PSU included. Usually they're very generic and may not offer protection for your system concerning power issues.

I'd prefer getting a nice case without a PSU and pick up a Seasonic PSU instead.
 
Case wise go for a Corsair Carbide 300R and also buy a Corsair CX 600M PSU.

Get a 4670K if you can just in case you want to overclock in the future.

I would also recommend dedicated graphics. Something like a 7770, 7790 or 7850 would be nice.
