Hi!
I want to make a budget desktop pc for music editing. I will need your help and opinions on some components. This is what I had in mind:

CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 965.
Comp will be used for professional music making (software like nuendo, cubase, etc.). Sometimes there will be 70+ tracks, so I thought quad core. I really think dual core i3 would be more than adequate, but I chose phenom because its the cheapest good quad core CPU out there.

CPU cooler: CM hyper 212 evo.
Phenom's stock cooler is too loud, and silence is very important for making music.

MBO: asrock 960gm-gs3 fx.
It seems like a decent budget MBO. I don't need much out of MBO. I will also not be using gfx card for this build, because 99% of the time it will be used for making music, and maybe sometimes to watch a movie, so I rely on 960gm's onboard card to be enough.

Ram: 8GB kingston hyperx

Disks: I will use WD caviar black for storage and some low capacity SSD for system.

Optical drive: any

Case: I really don't know anything about cases, so please tell me few models I should look. Keep in mind it's a budget PC and so should the case be. It must be silent.

PSU: about 500W corsair or antec.

Already have sound card, keyboard, speakers and that audio equipment.
