USB powered Nano + capacitance touch display?

Hi all - my name is Dillon, I am very new to arduino and electronics in general and trying to learn using the trial by fire method haha.

I have a project that I would like to start that involves an arduino nano with a touch-screen display and connects to a PC using the arduino's USB port which I am hoping can allow it to communicate data to and from the PC and also be powered only with the USB.

I know that the nano draws up to 200mA and I think I have found a display that only uses about 100mA (https://www.buydisplay.com/low-cost-5-inch-arduino-lcd-display-project-800x480-capacitive-touch-panel) which seems under the limits of USB 2.0 which is perfect but I am not knowledgeable enough to know for sure if I am looking in the right place for those numbers or if there is something that is needed besides the arduino and display itself.

I apologize for my lack of knowledge but I definitely want to learn! So please any suggestions or corrections are greatly appreciated!

Following the link there are multiple versions, in several aspects. Exactly which version is the one You use?

Apologies - I was thinking of using the 5" capacitance screen and I'm not sure if I need the shield or not
