Hi Guys,
I am about to buy the components for my seconds build, the idea is to get a quiet/almost silent small PC for SO. Small form factor, low power and low noise are key objectives.
I picked from the recommended builds so it should be pretty straight forward but would be great if you see any issues with the choices below. I am specially interested if anyone had any experience in noise levels with the low powered i5s or with my choice of case and PSU.
CPU Intel Core i5 4570S Quad Core Retail CPU (Socket 1150, 2.90GHz, 6MB, Haswell, 65W)
Memory Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz CL9 XMP
Motherboard Gigabyte H87N-WIFI Motherboard (Intel H87 Express, DDR3, S-ATA/600, Mini ITX, Socket 1150)
System Drive Crucial CT120M500SSD1 2.5-inch 120GB M500 SATA 6Gb/s SSD
Data Drive WD 2TB Desktop SATA Hard Drive - Green
Case Cooler Master Elite 130 Computer Case
Power Supply Be Quiet Pure Power L8-CM 430W PSU
Many thanks for any comments or suggestions.
Cheers,
Emilio
