Thinking of the following:
CPU: AMD X4 940 AM2
Mobo: Asus M4A78-EM matx
Ram: 2x2GB GB DDR2-800 patriot value ram [already have]
HD: Intel 80GB SSD w/ trim support
Optical: LG BluRay [already have]
Questions
Case? Looking at the SG03 and SG04 seems to be about a 35 dollar price difference. Worth it? Should I go with the 1 Fan option or 2? Are the included fans quiet? Or should I change them .and if so to what?
CPU cooler: What is an ultra quiet cpu cooler for this CPU. Could I run the NT06 fanless w/ 2 120mm fans in the case? Any other suggestions.
Video Card: Can you suggest a video card. I dont game that much, but will be doing development/video editing/gfx design on this machine. I have 2 Dell 30 monitors, so require 2 Dual Link DVI slots. Fanless would be nice but likely not practical, but was looking along the lines of an ATI 5770 (powercolor PPG mdoel) or an evga GTS 250 . Both have 2 duallink ports. Can someone suggest a card that can take an aftermarket cooler to make it very quiet?
Power Supply: Im thinking a 500-600watt .possibly modular. Any suggestions? Looking for something silent.
Thanks for any help.
