Hey everyone, I’m looking for some feedback on this build and maybe a case recommendation... I currently have $1.50 on hand, and I need a machine for Microsoft Office, running series, and working on my thesis (which will probably involve some simulations, though I haven't settled on the specific software yet).

I'm not sure if it matters, but I was planning on using a dual-monitor setup since that makes analyzing data for college much easier—I'll probably pick up that second monitor in about 2 or 3 months.

I still need a case, so if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

The power supply isn't worth the money, and the monitor is pretty subpar.
