My dad needs a small $700 work pc built. His requirements were an intel, ssd, and micro atx case. I am curious if all of these parts are compatible? Also, when you buy the chip, is thermal paste included? Please help and thanks to all of you experts!

quickbooks, internet, some work programs that are not graphic intense. He is using an 8 year old dell that isn't cutting it anymore. He wants to make sure that is does a good job at multitasking.

Looks good. I don't like the RAM choice too much though. Its minor but the CAS could be 9. Are you set on Corsair? If not, I would buy this myself if I was doing this build:

Also note that you do not have wifi on this rig if you needed it. You would need a wifi PCIe card or USB dongle.

Thank you for your input, I have substituted the corsair for Crucial Ballistix XT 16GB (2x8GB) and there is no need for wifi currently as it will be using an Ethernet cord. Are there any other suggestions you or anyone else would make before I order it?
