Hi all,
I'm looking to build a new desktop primarily for photo editing and occasional video editing. Couple of points:
1. I already have storage taken care of
2. I'm thinking I don't need a dedicated graphics card for mostly photo editing. I can upgrade later if I feel the need (eg. I end up doing more video editing perhaps?)
3. I don't plan to overclock just yet so I'm hoping stock fan should be ok to begin with?
4. I'm unsure of the case and PS - I really want something that is as quite as can be and I don't mind sacrificing power/speed/heat/etc if need be. Yes that is a OCD
All that said, here's what I've built so far:

Appreciate any and all input.
Edit: I should mention that I haven't done a build in like over 10 years so...there you go
