I've never built a PC before and this is what I'm going to build:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vHMsgs

Purpose of this computer is everyday use, light gaming as in Minecraft and Diablo 3. I'm looking for 1080p at high settings but can also stay cool and silent while under load. Hence why I spent more on some parts, for achieving a cool and silent PC.

Will everything fit in my case and are all the parts compatible with each other?

Would anyone also be willing to recommend a LED Monitor?

You don't at the moment, to do what you want to do. But, there is the future. I was showing you how the money saved could be used to make a better system. Your money, your choice.

The parts will fit and work, but I would make some different choices. This http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2328703/build-log-mini-itx-middle-school.html is cool and silent. (Just as an example) Your case costs more than your CPU. You can go a lot cheaper and put the money elsewhere.

Something like this, although I'd want a 240Gb or more SSD too.

Thank you for the compatibility tip but as far as cases go, I've done a lot of research and I'm going to go with the case. I don't mind paying double for a case that has good reviews and will be silent with filters. Same goes for PSU I paid $20 more for one that will be above average. Do you think I need to go for an i5 over an i3? And why would you think so?
