Thank you very much in advance for your advices, they will be really valued !!

I'm gonna build a quiet pc on Sandy Bridge. I would love to hear from your advices/suggestions. I've spent a lot of time reading and re-reading things (as well as getting some really interesting advice from a small silent-pc oriented spanish community) to be able to make a good choice (nonetheless, my hardware-knowledge leaks could kill me ).

Specially, I'm trying to figure out what behavior will expose the pc in some aspects:

1.- HD Audio ( Since h67 comes with hd audio via HDMI ... it shouldn't be a problem, not? )
2.- Ocasionally gaming (really I would love to be able to play soccer simulators like PES (Pro Evolution Soccer)/ -not extreme quality, just with flow- in a 32'' screen )
3.- Virtualization ( I really need to be able to manage 1/2 VMs (1 or 2 Ram's Gigas each)

Since my big goal was to achieve a nice low-cost/quite good performance/relax for 2 years (maybe some minor updates ... such as SDD's or whatever ... ), i think it's a good configuration, but waiting to read your comments.


One more time, thanks in advance guys !

Oh well, I forgot to type somethings in order to save you time:

1.- h67 chipset because of integrated graphics (i don't plan to build a dedicated card)

2.- cpu cooler and better fans than the fractal default's ones ---> already thought about (i'm gonna check this level of noise ... if i'm still unhappy, go forward with them).

the 2500 comes with the Intel 2000 GPU, which shows up as very, very weak. You might want to get a dedicated GPU if you want to do any gamnes outside of Flash. Is that 32" screen an HDTV (1920x1080) or a high-resolution monitor (2500x1600 or the like)

2500K comes with Intel 3000 GPU which is somewhat better. It's not much more expensive than 2500.

Also, the H67 OP wants doesn't support discrete GPU.

The i5 2500 comes with the crippled Intel 2000 GPU (GT1). A modest upgrade to the i5 2500K comes with the Intel 3000 GPU (GT2). The 3000 is superior to the 2000 for games and video/DVD palyback, although neither onboard chip is better than a discrete GPU.
