I intend to build an all-purpose general usage PC for mostly web-browsing, programming, administrative tasks (intensive usage of virtualization) etc. I will neither overclock it, nor will I play resource-hungry games on it.
Here's my config so far:
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K
Motherboard: GigaByte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3
Memory: G.Skill DDR3-1600 8192MB PC3-12800 (Kit of 2x4096) Sniper (F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR)
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 7200rpm 64MB WD1002FAEX 3.5" SATA III
I will also buy an SSD, but later.
The most important requirement for the box (apart from being fast enough) is to be silent. Thus, I'm not sure about the case, PSU and CPU cooler yet. What would you suggest to get for all those three components to make the PC silent enough?
Also, is the HDD of my choice is silent enough, or are there anything better than this?
