build pc

I posted the list because it makes for a very good system and it is within the price range you mentioned. It is just a list to look at as a starting point. It does have a dedicated Graphics card. Integrated graphics is in the CPU, not the board. A dedicared card has to fit on the board to work, but can be changed. It also has USB 3.0 built in.

Nope, @essenbe, you found an older iteration of what I eventually did. @maranna what will the pc be used for?

Here's an example I just did, without logging in to PCPartsPicker: Intel Core i7-6700, EVGA GeForce GTX 960, Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (Black Pearl) - System Build - PCPartPicker



Now, it's a mid-tower ATX case, not a full tower; full can be pretty big for some, but the larger case makes it easier to work inside. This case has a window.
The i7 6700 Skylake is the latest Intel chip - might as well be on the bleeding edge!
The ASUS Maximus VIII Hero MB takes 32GB max RAM (4 slots total), but you can start with 16 (2x8) and it would be fine. As mentioned above, you can always add more later.
Now, the MB will have integral NIC for ethernet connection and integral sound connections, so you can hold off on a sound card and NIC card. It also has HDMI and Display Port connections for a monitor. The separate graphics card has 3xDisplay Port, 1xHDMI, 1xDVI-I and supports up to 4 concurrent displays. So, you can hold off on a separate graphics card, unless you're gaming.
The power supply is fully modular, and I think these come with a 10 yr. (5+5) warranty.
Use the SSD for the OS and programs; put your user libraries on the 1TB spinner-makes it super fast!

So, leave out the graphics card for now and you're right around $1000.

Then add in a W10 x64 OS. If you buy a retail version, it is transferable in the future.
Bluetooth: get a USB adapter to plug into the rear.

The CPU cooler will come with a tube of thermal paste. The chip will also come with its own cooler, but you don't want to use that.

Use your old monitor until it dies. Watch slickdeals.net for sales. Go with 23" or 24"! You'll need a DVI to HDMI adapter to use it connected to the MB while you save up for the separate graphics card.

I had a problem with "fax". My older system that I replaced had an internal fax card - I could not put that in the new rig. But most AIO printers have a fax function, and that's what everyone uses now.

I am surprised you have a 64-bit version of Office - are you sure about that? MS don't recommend installing 64-bit Office unless you have a really good reason for it. Please double-check on that.

Once you have your system designed, pick one store you can get everything from, that has a good return policy. @essenbe recommends Amazon. I used a local superstore called Microcenter, only because they are relatively close to me, had comparable prices, and a good return policy. Then make your purchase all at one place. If you have any defective parts, it makes things easier to deal with than parting it out all over the place.

Use PCPartsPicker to select your components. It will only show you compatible parts. The only thing you may need to worry about is the height of the CPU cooler. Just run it by here before you buy.

Hope that helps!

EDIT: Use the DVD Optical Drive from your current system, so you don't need to buy another one.

maranna, I would suggest you start with the system listed in @simrick's last post. Build it with PCPC. Then start researching the parts and components. It is the features you are concerned with. Bluetooth, as already mentioned, can be done with a USB dongle. The motherboard features will be listed here https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/MAXIMUS-VIII-HERO/. It will list all of the features. Do not be concerned about the gaming and overclocking features. They are features you will not use. However, because it is built for those things means it is built better and, should last much longer than many other boards. You can do the same thing for every component until you find the ones you want. The list simrick posted will make a very good computer, but it is just a starting point. You will be able to swap any component you want to. The phone fax, I would imagine will end up being an add on card, which are pretty inexpensive. The board should give you plenty of USB ports. The overwhelming majority of the features are built into whichever motherboard you choose. Right now, you have every option available to you. You can change everything and anything. You can change the graphics card, for example, if you want better graphics or if you want lesser graphics. I suspect from what you said your computer use is, the card in simrick's list is more than you need. However, it will do anything you want and more. The graphics card in the list is an add on card and can be changed any time you want. After you feel like you are close to getting what you are looking for, I would start shopping and keeping track of parts, prices and locations. Microcenter is a good choice. They have a good return policy and their prices are usually in line with most everyone else. Just think it through, don't get in a hurry and do your research. While doing this, if you have questions, ask here. Someone will be happy to answer. You will get different opinions from several people. That is good for you. It tells you your options and why. The final decision is yours. Look at it as a learning experience. I hope this answers some of your questions.

See if this helps or gives you any ideas.

Peter, any questions you have, please feel free to ask. There are a lot of people here who are more than ready to help you.
