This is going to be my first build. I'm not building it now it might be a bit.
I want it to be as quiet as possible.

I'm putting together my own ITX prodigy build.
I chose the i5 4670k, don't know if you want to overclock (in the future?), the 4670k is overall better processor for heavy loads and gaming so it's worth that little extra i think.

I chose the WD Black variant, overall faster performance and better reliability.
Overall nice build.
