Hello friends, is my first post.

I'm building a PC with these components.

PC need a little calm and quiet ...

Graphic Card selected is passive.
The quality of this graphic Card is enough to play my favorite games, including as media?
I burned in the room with her?
My games are Aion, SWTOR and Final Fantasy XIV online.

Silverstone FT-8-E
Seasonic 660 X series semi fanless
I5 Intel 2450 P
Asus Maximus IV GENE-Z
Asus EAH6770 SL/2DI/1GD5 DC
Prolimatech Megahalems Rev.B
2 Noctua NF-F12 fan 1500 rpm
60GB OCZ Agility
WD Caviar Green 1.5 TB

This configuration seems viable?

Thanks and sorry for my English use google translate
 
Passive video cards STILL NEED AIRFLOW. If there are insufficient case fans or it is run in open air (such as with reviewing) then a passive card will overheat.

Speaking of airflow, the case will have airflow, so no need to go super passive to go quiet.

For motherboard, the Gene-Z is really nice but super expensive. If not overclocking, then it is no better than any cheap Z68 motherboard.

There are cheaper "quiet" heatsinks, such as the Scythe Ninja 3.

PSU is overkill. Can get a nice, quiet low wattage Seasonic.

Check out the new Radeon 7750 or 7770 graphics cards. Look for ones with single, large fans. They have better performance per Watt ratio.
