I want to change my pc and I am in the middle of two completely different options. By the way my main purpose of using pc for photoshop and photo editing and also downloading stuffs (movies). First option is to buy a 27" iMac and it will be expensive. The second option build a new pc. But in this option I have two big drawbacks (extreme sounds of pc parts and temperature). The high level of sound of ventilators and hdd and high temperature that the case produce. These two issues turn my pc usage pleasure to torture. Is it possible to create a slient and cool pc and if the answer is yes how can I do that. Can you help me.

You know the iMac is still a PC but just with a different OS. It still outputs heat and sound.
But yes you can make an almost silent and cool pc.
You would need a case that has good airflow or sound dampening foam.
You may want noctua fans since they are pretty good as silent fans.
You need to give a budget first though.

Of course iMac is also a pc and produce heat and sound but i meant that can we built a desktop pc with minimum sound and heat (water cooled, or air cooled) and how to do that is it logical way to reach that goal. For example if I built a desktop pc with water cooled pc does this make an noticable difference in comparison to regular desktops or iMac in terms of heat and sound those produce.

Heat being maximum temperature or heat being total thermal energy outputted? Better cooling will reduce the first, lower power parts will reduce both but also performance.

Forgoing dedicated graphics and using integrated will significantly reduce noise and heat, but don't expect to game on it.

A good CPU cooler is a must.

If you do build your PC, and are looking for a good case cooling-wise, the Rosewill Blackhawk is pretty good for its buck and it has plenty of stock fans that aren't bad. You'll only hear them if you're right next to it. If you're only using it for movies, and photo editing, I can't see it generating much heat though, and you won't need a GPU if you get integrated graphics, which as Someone Somewhere said, "will significantly reduce noise and heat."
