Hi all - great community you have here. I'm a total newbie and I'd appreciate some feedback on my build below. My requirements are that it is silent (I hate fans), very fast and small form factor. My day to day use is fairly light office applications, browsing and youtube but I want the power there for the odd occasion I decide to do photo/video editing, development work or the occasional game of civilisation. Am I right in thinking that the GPU and serious noise will only kick in when the machine is under strain and that day to day youtube and office will not require the fans at all?
