Title: New PC build, with emphasis on silence.
Post by: tipo33 on Wed, 19 December 2012, 13:44:36
Put together a parts list I would like you guys to look over:
Antec Fusion Remote ( in the mail - not gonna lie  :D )
Intel Core i3-3220 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116775 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116775)
GIGABYTE GA-B75M-D3V http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128540 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128540)
Samsung 30nm "wonder ram" (allready own) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147096 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147096)
Scythe Big Shuriken 2 Rev. B - Probably with a different fan.
Passively cooled Nvidia GT 210 (already own)
1 Samsung 830 64Gig (already own)
2 Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB (already own)
Xonar essence ST ( the reason I chose a motherboard with a PCI slot )

The main use of this computer will be for general internet surfing, and listening to music.  It will run Linux exclusively, therefore compatibility is a concern.  The reason I chose the case is, I think it will look good under my Pioneer SX-580 :D   It needs to output to a 2560x1440 display, and be quiet, and non-intrusive.  I will not be gaming on this computer ( I have other computers for that :)  )  I might watch the occasional movie.  What do you guys think?  Am I making the best of the parts I already own?
