Yes, the only thing I can't tell is the monitor. Check that the monitor has the same input as the graphics cards output (VGA / DVI / HDMI) But I doubt it will be a problem. I also wouldn't recommend a WD Cavier Green HDD as the primary drive.
They are made to save power (goes into low power mode when inactive) and best used for data storage that isn't constantly accessed. A huge upgrade would be to keep the WD Green and get a small SSD to hold Windows7 and a few core programs, and use the WD drive for everything else.
8gb is enough. I suggest a fx6350 at least. Wd green is very slow,meant for saving power and being green.
If you want to get it nevertheless you must get an ssd.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
