Need Advice

Hi all,

 

I am currently in the planning stages of my build and need some advice. I can't decide on a case or motherboard. My only requirement is the motherboard must support a TPM chip. I chose an 8th generation core i7 because from what ive seen i9's aren't worth it yet. I'm not a gamer so don't care about graphics if motherboard supports internal graphics great, if it has DisplayPort 1.2 even better. I know something things in part builder are blank, that's mainly because need to decide on case and motherboard before making other decisions. Thanks in advance for the help. The link to my part builder is https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZKHTd6
