Hi guys, seems like I need an upgrade..
CPU
Intel Core i5 4670 or Intel Core i7 4770. Maybe worth splashing out on the i7 as I'm already running a i3 2120 @ 3,3Ghz and the main reason I'm upgrading is for easily-parallelisable tasks like video encoding and speeding up video editing. Main use of the system is massive multi-tasking (hundreds of tabs/processes across dozens of programs). Won't be overclocking. Really want silence.
CPU cooler
I want silent. Thermalright AXP-140 or Cogage MST-140, whichever's cheaper and fits in the case.
RAM
I want 16GB or 32GB if it's going to be affordable soon. Whatever the cheapest is, I care only about amount and price not speed.
Case
Small is good. I'm running a mini-ITX at the moment but willing to go bigger if it means it's easier to make it silent. No fans at all if possible.
Must have room for 2.5" SSD, 3.5" HDD (can survive w/o maybe) and optical drive.
Mobo
Don't really care. Don't need onboard wifi. e-SATA and USB 3.0 would be nice as would dual ethernet but I really don't need any of this.
Has to be able to handle at least two monitors that have display port/DVI-D/VGA outputs. My projector will be DVI-D or HDMI so not needing extra cable or simple switching is a plus.
(Related to graphics. I'm inclined to use onboard graphics only as long as there's not a graphics card that's a) cheap, b) silent, c) can support my monitors.)
GPU
As above. Skip it?
PSU
I have a novatech PowerStation 400W I could reuse but otherwise whatever will get the job done for the cheapest.
Boot drive
Crucial CT240M500SSD1 2.5-inch 240GB.
Budget
Eeek. Lower the better but willing to spend a bit more to make it last and to keep it quiet.
Opinions and comments gratefully received. Am I missing anything obvious? Am I doing this sensibly?
