I am planning on getting a rasberry pi b+ for a specific use case and I have many questions(mostly about kits)Do I need the kit versions?Do they have things I need to use the rasberry pi?(Other than the case)Can I just buy only a rasberry pi?(of course ill need things like an HDMI cable to use it on a monitor but do these kits have necessary things or can I just use a rasberry pi by itself?)

    The RasberryPi4 needs extra cooling (either a large passive heatsink, or likely better one with a fan in it). The easiest it to buy one with a kit because of that.

    Also make sure you get a good quality power-adapter if you plan to connect things like USB3 to SATA adapters with hardrives/SSDs to it.
