Hi all, this is my first post on hwz :)

I'm building a comp for a friend and would like some help regarding the build from you guys. My only preference would be for casing, as I'm eyeing the Jonsbo V3+.

Purpose: Purely office, surfing web, watching videos, no gaming at all
Budget: Around $800 including screen/kb/OS
Screen: 19-20? No need to be full HD, unless its not much more expensive. Dont mind integrated speakers
Size: Was thinking of ITX and Jonsbo case. Please advise if mATX (and another case) will be a better choice
Processor: Pentium/Celeron/i3 good enough?

Thanks in advance guys. Do tell me if i've missed out anything

Thanks all :)

@jian, will the V2 have any heat or noise problems? Also, is it worth it to get another mobo brand for reliability? I really hope the pc can last as long as possible. Thanks :)
