troll?

Don't jump to that conclusion just yet.

It's much easier for us as a community with helping you if you use PC Part Picker to assemble your proposed build and then the rest of us can adjust it to what we would recommend and post the recommendation on this thread of yours.

BTW, you forgot to make the "d" a capital "D". What happened, did it sin? :lol:

I don't really recommend going with that AIO solution.

It looks cluttered and it has a TN panel.

I have an AIO myself and I love it, but that specific solution looks ugly.

@mrpcguy123, is this the AIO chassis you are/were thinking about? http://www.quietpc.com/mono-aio

a power supply would be a good start

One of the advantages of having a PC is the modularity. Being tied down to a specific monitor goes against that logic.

Did you know that computers have this box that powers everything, you should search it up! It is a really useful component to any build!

what wattage should the PSU be? i am not overclocking and the GPU requires 450w. for an i5 4960k and 970 mini together what wattage? 

[mrpcguy123]

and why are TN panels bad?

For AIO I would rather get a proper AIO from a OEM, but not for gaming, just for basic use like web browsing, watching movies, some simple photo or video editing and other light task. That case because it's uses standard parts and comes with a monitor attached, it looks too bulky and ridiculous. Plus it's not even touch screen. Is that touch screen? Too lazy to look it up. Get a proper desktop and a monitor separately.

For a single-GPU setup you should have a quality, 550-600 W Power Supply. Most people say 500, I recommend a bit more for headroom.

Now where did you hear that?

Although IPS has better color reproduction generally, average users and gamers opt for higher refresh rates and faster response times. What you value more, is up to you.
