Just to clarify you need every part of the PC i.e.

"The box"
monitor
mouse
keyboard
windows
speakers (will probably be integrated with monitor for your budget).

Yeah thats why I left the parts not required empty as I only have a mouse.

A few compromises tbh, mostly at the screen as it's only 1366x768 (GPU is overkill for the resolution but will serve well if/when you upgrade upto 1080p)
PSU seems small but when fully stressed the PC will draw less than 300W.
