you can add $10 more for a faster western digital black. unless you want to save it and have 120gb more. but it's really up to you.

nice build.

Weak spot would probably be the 300 watt PSU, which is easily upgradeable.

Would also leave plenty of scratch for a decent monitor too

Never... ever buy an ECS board. They are utter trash. I've had three smoke on me, and I didn't even touch the BIOS. They are garbage.

Avoid ECS like the plague. Those things are terrible.

Would still recommend this:

I have a 17" Samsung 1280x1024 for 3 years now and served me well.

#1.

You don't need a 19" or 22". Just put it on the edge of your desk and zoom in with your chair LoL
