So, this is my first build. I am going to use it as a portable computer and have a screen stuck to the front of the case. Can people help me make sure it will all fit and that it will be able to play what I want. 

I will be using it for CS:GO, MineCraft, WildStar, GW2 and many other things. Thanks.

Also, I'm not quite sure if I've got the right size screen for the computer, so does anyone know if it will be covering the ports on the front. 

 

It's the same case as here: 

The only difference is that that case has holes in the front. Grill style. Mine will be the shield.

Did I read Pentium 3? Good luck gaming on that.

What is your overall budget for this thing? I do notmsuggest getting cheap PCs. £500/$600 minimum. You really do not get a lot for the money on cheap PCs

I was more thinking sizes. Partpicker doesn't do that very well.

It's around £300. I could probably go to around £500 though, What would you suggest as a minimum CPU?

Also, small typo. It's a G3220 at 3GhZ not a pentium 3

Yeah I read Pentium 3. 3220 is still not enough.

I3-4xxx minimum or one of those 3.9ghz Skylake i3s that are out / or coming out.

£500 would be much better. Other then the case, any prefered parts? Color scheme? Ect.

No, no preferred parts. I really just want it to work. The inside wont be seen too much.

Check for compatbilities, PCPartPocker is usally pretty good about them. If you cannot stretch the budget, get a R9 270x or R7 370.

Also, I would invest into a CoolerMaster Siedon 120m or NZXT x41 Kraken in the future if you ever upgrade your PC. I chose the i3-6300 to be the most "future" proof, so you can easily upgrade to a i5-6600k, i7-6700k, or a locked Skylake Xeon since itmis a H170m Mobo.
