Hello Tom's,
This is my first ever time trying to custom build a moderate inexpensive desktop computer. I am running on a budget here. The below is the list of hardware that I have planned to put together, and I would like your advise whether they are compatible and would work fine. I work in quite a warm environment, no AC here but know if I can add some type of cooling system. I Don't want to run my budget over $500. I am missing a suitable case and a power supply. Your recommendations are highly welcomed. Thanks in advance.
