Probably a good choice. Intel processors are able to handle more heat than the ones from AMD.<br></blockquote><div><br>Thanks for the info, great! <br>How hard is it to upgrade a processor later? I'm thinking of buying a i3 now, but like to be able to upgrade to a i7 later.<br>

Most motherboards usually works, but Intel is generally less tweakable,<br>
which could be important if you want a silent computer.</blockquote><div><br>So then MSI or ASUS might be better.

Power:<br>
When it comes to a power supply I was thinking about Enermax PRO82+ 385W. I<br>
heard that brand is good...<br>

Yes, but also check out <a href="http://www.silentpcreview.com" target="_blank">www.silentpcreview.com</a>.</blockquote><div><br>You have a PS without fan?

Bigger is more silent. bigger => colder => more silent.<br></blockquote><div><br>That's why you have a midi tower and no mini tower I guess...<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
Another (extremly important) factor to look out for is that the PSU is placed at the bottom of the case, and not anywhere near the CPU.<br>
Antec, fractal design and coolermaster are some manufacturers<br>
providing this design.</blockquote><div><br>Thanks, I'll search for one. <br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

At notam we have also made this guide/recommendation list for building a silent computer:<br>
