PC configuration evaluation

[PeterNorris90]

Hello everybody!

I am considering buying this PC configuration:
https://www.ankermann.com/en/product_config.php?grp=0&c=fc9a485b9d7188a9b3dbeb2da65deed2

I am searching for a super silent solution and I think this configuration should be silent enough. Still I am not super expert on the hardware side, therefore I would need your opinions before buying it.

Does this configuration make sense?
I have added an extra backside fan. Is this necessary for the processor I've mounted?
Is the CPU cooling fan I've added better than the stock amd? (this is quieter)
Is the PSU strong enough?
At Ankermann they offer a super silent mod and I have added it (is it really necessary)?

If you have any suggestion it is super welcome!
Thanks in advance! I know those are a lot of questions :/
Peter

For what you will use this PC? Gaming, work, school?

The main usage will be for everyday working (nothing more than office, browsing, etc...) and a bit of casual gaming since the APU a10 allows it (I don't care about gaming at high levels)

It need to be silent and small because it will be in the living room and also I am subject to migranes and the noise is really a problem :/

Ok, in these use the PC is good, I don't see any error. Only a question the PSU is generic or have 80+ certify?

Is a PSU with silent mode and 80+, if you are interested this is other option. Have silence and electrical protection.

And now see they have other solutions how cases and other stuff with silent modes

Will I benefit from the 400W version? it cost just 3€ more in the configurator
and this just 6€
Be Quiet! AC-WildCat Gaming Power 480 BRONZE BQ-SU400

Maybe for 6€ I should consider it but I don't know if more Watts means More or Less noise

 

[RangerVAT]

Hmm is a little more sound. In this situation the best are the BQ-SU400 for future updates, and is a company dedicated to create be quite products. Your original PSU for watts and size probably don't have a lot of sound, both are good for you, the only difference is the future upgrades of these pc and the systems to allow the silent mode.

This is a review on YouTube. Is from the cpu cooler but probably show and idea for these be quite products

Ok.. Considered this configuration + the 480W BQ-SU400 will I be able to add a dedicated GPU in the future? (Just in case I decide to put an extra boost to graphics) something like an R9 285X to work in double graphics with the APU..

 

[RangerVAT]

I think to use the dual graphics only work with R7 series, like r7 270.

In AMD I don't know what you can select for power consumption and memory requirements , probably the r7 250 1gb it will work fine,, but probably (I'm not sure) you can put a r7 270 2 gb, if don't work the dual graphics you can use only the main card.
