Wow, thanks for the quick responses! My mom mainly browses the web, does eBay etc. so no gaming, the computer she's upgrading from had a and e300 APU which is just pitifully slow and struggles to load web pages, and since it's soldered to the mobo I looked into a fresh build. The case is mainly an ascetic choice, not too small, not too big, and why would you think I would need SATA cables?
