Hi, I am looking to build a new computer, i will use it mainly for listening to and editing music (using programs like audacity) apart from music, i will use it for mainly internet browsing.
I need it to be quiet, I already have a GPU, HDD And case (mainly looking for cpu, motherboard, cpu cooler suggestions ect)
edit - I much rather intel CPU's and asus or gigabyte motherboards

You can spend more if you want, but given that it's a fairly casual PC and you're recycling a bunch then this would likely suffice. The i5 comes with a cooler in the box
