Quiet PC build (uk.pcpartpicker.com)

My first PC build in ten years, my current PC hardware is incompatible with the latest windows release. I'm aiming for quietness and reliability over power.

I'm quite excited to get my hands on some parts again. Let me know what you think! :D

I was going for a quiet build as I want to record music in the same room, I also live in the countryside, the loudest thing here is often the bird song.

I know the graphics card is low end but if the max power draw is 50W then the max heat output is also 50W. You can see how a card that draws up to 350W is going to affect the build thermally.

I think the PC will do what I want it to do with little issue, but I have certainly learnt a lot in this thread today. I wish I had made it before I started buying components!
