Shocked that no-one mentioned PC Part Picker? It's great and can warn you about incompatibilities and allows you to create multiple builds and compare them. Also gives price history and comparison of various sites for purchasing.
Has build guides for every budget and purpose.
Check it out.

I'd consider posting what kind of work you plan to do with the Computer. People are basically telling you how to build a low-end gaming computer here. If it's graphics modelling or something like that then sure get a good system, but if it's more about spreadsheets and wordprocessing then you barely even need a graphics card, especially since many motherboards have a builtin graphics processor now. So, if it's the latter option just pick a motherboard that is compatible with the devices you want and make sure it can support a faster CPU than you are getting, about twice as much ram as you want; this allows you to update the system later as needed without having to buy a new computer right away, that can save you a lot of money in the long run.

Ken, thanks for the reply. I do desktop applications with VS2015 and VS2017. Also, a very plain ecommerce website.
I am using MS Sql Server as a database.
I did purchase a motherboard with onboard video, with all of the other components, some recommended above, and some not. I came in at a shade under $800.00, including tax and shipping. They are supposed to start arriving tomorrow.
Hopefully, all of the components work together.
I appreciate you, and all of the others who replied with comments and advice.

Cool, sounds like you have it all covered. Good luck with getting everything together  If you do have any problems don't hesitate to mention it here, lots of people can help.

Check out the list of cars that Dominos provides to let them know which vehicle you are going to show up in for car-side delivery. https://i.stack.imgur.com/C9iP0.png[^]
Maybe you only drive your Bentley or Ferrari, but I always take the Bugatti, when I go to pick up a pizza.

The list has probably been outsourced to a site for researching car prices, but it's amusing nonetheless.

Does the "Preferred Location" option include "In the trunk" so kidnap victims can be fed?

What? No Allard or Alvis? Shocking! Still, I'm sure they'll have Frazer Nash further down the list...
|
|
|
|
|
Konigsegg is surely down there too.

So if you have no clue (or care not) what car do you driving (except taht it is white) you can not order pizza at Domino's?

While I fully appreciate the fact that not everyone is a gear-head...for most people a car represents a major investment, even if you're just leasing. If you've made such a major investment and can't even name the make and model of your own car...then yeah, as far as I'm concerned, you can go without pizza.
But then, this is Domino's we're talking about. Not much of a punishment.

25 years I drive a car my company buys and maintains... It is a white care replaced every 3 years with an other white car... I do forget what type after about 3-4 months...

I'm betting if it was a POS that you'd have to bring back to the dealer yourself you'd never forget what it is.
|
|
|
|
|
that's correct. it's a bit of a IQ test too. Or car knowledge test. If you don't know, then no pizza for you.
|
|
|
|

I drive last year's most sold car and now I'm afraid they'll give me someone else's pizza because they drive the same car.
Guess I'll take my Geely* then... Oh wait 
* Actually, I don't think there's even a single Geely on the road in the Netherlands, I've seen them in Cuba and Russia (Chinese car).

Is there a "none of the above" option?
I see that Bristol is not on the list and I am fairly certain there are some... well a few... well, a very small number of Bristol Blenheims being driven in the USA.
|
|
|
|
|
And no Bricklin on the list either!
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah and where's the Delorean? --- the obvious copy of the Bricklin. 
|
|
|
|
|
On the other hand, some might want to know what car the pizza delivery driver is arriving in. Some of those would definitely raise eyebrows!
|
|

I would take my Yugo because I wouldn't want anyone to know I hang out with Bugatti drivers. (I only had Dominos once, that was enough).
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure it's one with heated seats to keep the pizza warm on the way home
|

I don't eat their pizza.
Homemade is tastier and cheaper.

But you still drive your Bugatti to Dominos, right?

Not allowed to drive.
And we make our own pizza dough.
