Alright, thanks.

Intel Core i5 6400
ASRock H110M-HDV, LGA 1151 socket.
8GB RAM 2Rx8 1G x 64-Bit PC4-2133 CL15 288-Pin DIMM
Toshiba DT01ACA100 1 TB 3.5
BitFenix Nova Midi-Tower Black case—no power supply included. P/N: GEBF-172
Super Flower FX 350W - 80 Plus Bronze power supply (SF-350P14HE) P/N: NESF-040
Patriot SSD Blast R560/W425, 120GB, 7mm, 2.5"
Acer G257HLbidx 25" LED Monitor IPS ZeroFrame, UM.KG7EE.005
LG GH24NSD1 sat Bulk Black 24 x optical drive.

Bottom line: $1769 I can't believe they're charging $80 for shipping—it’s a total joke! If you're looking at Centro, just know that while they offer free assembly, that delivery fee is a massive gut punch. It feels like they're trying to sneakily hike up the price after you think you've found a deal. Seriously, watch out for that.$40...you can just pay cash on delivery.

Got it, thanks. Can I hook my desktop up to the TV? Also—is it possible to use a Dell monitor instead? Honestly, I wouldn't mind if it was a bit smaller, like a 21.5 or 23-inch model. I'm really leaning towards a Dell.

Hey, I could use some help putting together a PC. It’s mostly just going to be for browsing and streaming movies—please, just build me something decent so I don't end up with a total piece of junk. My budget is around $600 including the monitor, though if we can pull it off cheaper, even better. I definitely want an SSD for Windows, plus a 500GB hard drive, and I need to be able to hook the desktop up to my TV via the GPU. I was thinking about grabbing a Dell UltraSharp from one of the Links—the one priced right at $200—because I really want things to look crisp while I'm watching stuff. I had a Dell before and honestly, I loved it. But, if there isn't actually a massive difference between those $130 models and this one, let me know—I'd love to hear what you guys think. Please, try to pick everything from the Links so it's easy for me to grab it all at once—just go by the listed web prices. Thanks. Also, the monitor can't be bigger than 25"; anything larger won't fit my setup.
