System Build List Opinions ....

[Mark_126]

Here is what i am thinking of for a system build , i already have an SSD to put in it.

Intel Core i5 6600
Gigabyte GA-H170N-WiFi Mini ITX
2GB Asus GTX 950 STRIX OC
520W Seasonic Platinum SS-520FL2 FANLESS PSU
Fractal Design Node 304 Black mini-ITX Case with USB 3.0 w/o PSU (Std ATX)
Arctic Freezer 11i Silent CPU Cooler with 92mm RPM PWM Fan for Intel 115x/2011 CPU Up to
27" Acer S277HK 4K UHD Zeroframe IPS LED Monitor

Any thoughts or obvious clangers with these components ? I am aiming for something pretty silent at normal loads.

Is it for gaming? Then you should get a better GPU.
And the Freezer 11i isn't more quiet than other coolers at the price, for true silence (almost), get a BeQuiet! Dark Rock 2 / Dark Rock Advanced.

Nothing more demanding than Minecraft and FTL plus a bit of Elite Dangerous and some retro emulation, i liked the idea it was fanless up to 62C.

Good point in the cooler i will research that.

What about the power supply in a mini itx case with that power supply - is the airflow enough ?

You should be fine as long as you don't stuff all the cables around it; This guy did a nice job http://www.overclock.net/t/1266342/official-fractal-design-node-304-owners-club/980

Btw i didn't realise your case was mITX, so you probably can't use that Dark rock since it's so tall. Take a look at the Cryorig C1, or a CM Geminii M4.
