Ok I need help with a workstation build. It is used for Facebook, email and training that involves streaming videos. Already have a 1080p display.

I'm not sure how I feel about going micro atx. I would like a mid size tower and want to be able to upgrade in the future. I have windows 10 from the free upgrade on my current computer so I think I will have to get a new copy.

I want a 240+ GB SSD and 8 or more GB ram.

A gaming mouse, nice 2.0 speakers, nice headset mechanical keyboard would be nice but not needed.

Finally a blue ray drive or burner is required.

Few words.

This build will do all what you need it to do while having plenty of upgrade paths in CPU, GPU, RAM and storage devices area.

But of starting out, put in great single-core performer (i3-7300) that is accompanied with 16GB of DDR4 RAM at speeds of 2400 Mhz and dedicated GPU in form of GTX 1050 Ti that will do good in 1080p resolution. For storage, went with good performing SK Hynix SL308 SSD with 250GB of space. Picked a case that has insulated panels with noise-isolating materials to reduce the noise coming from PC and selected a good quality PSU to power your PC. Oh, i also included BD writer as requested.

Since peripherals (mouse, KB, speakers and headphones) are mostly personal choices, get the ones you like the most.
