PARTS
I HAVE ADDED, MOST OF WHICH PC PART PICKER SAYS ARE COMPATIBLE. SOME OF THE
IDEAS COME FROM A PERSON WHO CALLS HIM/HERSELF JADEGT:
1) The Lite-On iHDS118-04 DVD/CD
Drive
2) The Syba SD-PEX63034 24-bit 48
KHz Sound Card, partly because Darrell said something about audiophiles wanting
a sound card:
3) ChargersDen has chosen this
keyboard:
Cooler Master MasterKeys Pro S Wired
Standard Keyboard
4) And this mouse:

5) I opted for this keyboard and mouse combo as they are much cheaper and I know I can return them if I want to:

Insignia™ - USB Keyboard and Optical
Mouse
6) And this mousepad:
mp0034 Ouija Board Spirit Mystery

7) ChargersDen chose these speakers:
Logitech Z200 0W 2ch
I chose these instead:
Insignia™ - 2.0 Stereo Computer
Speaker System (2-Piece) - Black
I am told Linux is free.
9) For additional software I chose
Microsoft Office 365 Personal:
10) I want to add Adobe Photoshop for
students and teachers: http://www.adobe-students.com/creativecloud/buy/students.html?sdid=KKTHD&mv=search&s_kwcid=AL!3085!3!102778829062!e!!g!!adobephotoshop&ef_id=WJjFuAAAAFeAa_j5:20170319022619:s
11) I have read Windows Defender is ok but PC Magazine recommends Kaspersky or Bitdfender. Since I have had weird experiences with Kaspersky I chose Bitdefender Total Security 2017: https://store.bitdefender.com/order/checkout.php?redirect=0&CART=1&CARD=2&PRODS=4698114&QTY=1&OPTIONS4698114=tsmd-5u-1y&LANG=en&CURRENCY=USD&DCURRENCY=USD&CLEAN_CART=ALL&ORDERSTYLE=nLW4oJapmH4%3D&COUPON=SpringPromo2017&SHOPURL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bitdefender.com%2Fmedia%2Fhtml%2F2017%2Fcl25off%2F%3Fpid%3D35off%26amp%3Bcid%3Dppc%257cc%257cGoogle%257c35off%26amp%3Bgclid%3DCPz6r4bD4dICFdGKswod-0cNyQ&__c=1
