So the main use for my PC is streaming and watching HD, Web browsing and the usual office work, email, word, spreadsheets etc.
I hate that the older my PC gets the slower it is to start up.
I think my case fan and PC fan are noisy.
I use two monitors.
So HERE GOES!
Case
NZXT S340 ELITE MID TOWER GAMING CASE (BLACK) Just because I can't work out which is best size! I have a space of 430mm front to back so a case less than 400 deep would be better to allow for cables. It can be 500mm High and 400mm wide! It looks like if I go for a Micro AXT then I can't have the quiet fan, M2 SSD and other goodies.
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™i5 Quad Core Processor i5-7600K (3.8GHz) 6MB Cache ()I don’t think I need i7 but would an AMD chipset be cheaper than i5 but just as good?
Motherboard
ASUS® PRIME Z270-P: ATX, LGA1151, USB 3.0, SATA 6GBs
Memory (RAM)
16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 2133MHz (2 x 8GB) 8 or 16GM RAM and one or two chips?
Graphics Card
4GB AMD RADEON™ RX 550 - HDMI, DP, DVI - DX® 12, NB I'like using two monitors!
1st Hard Disk
1TB SEAGATE FIRECUDA 3.5" SSHD - UP TO 5X FASTER THAN HDD!
M.2 SSD Drive. SSD with OS on it seems to be the general recommendation but should this be a 2nd drive or an M2 drive?
128GB M.2 2280, SATA 6Gb/s (560MB/R, 467MB/W)
DVD/BLU-RAY Drive
NOT REQUIRED
Power Supply
CORSAIR 450W VS SERIES™ VS-450 POWER SUPPLY
Power Cable
1 x 1 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead)
Processor Cooling Cooling fan? Super quiet or if I went Ultra quiet could I do away with the case fan otherwise it would seem pointless unless both are superquiet?
Super Quiet Titan DragonFly Heatpipe Intel CPU Cooler
Thermal Paste
STANDARD THERMAL PASTE FOR SUFFICIENT COOLING
Sound Card I have Surround sound in my office so is the basic output from the Mboard enough to output to my old BOSE? I am not a hi fidelity chap!
ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)
Wireless/Wired Networking
10/100/1000 GIGABIT LAN PORT (Wi-Fi NOT INCLUDED)
I will take the blu ray out of my existing PC.

MIN. 2 x USB 3.0 & 2 x USB 2.0 PORTS @ BACK PANEL + MIN. 2 FRONT PORTS. I will take the PCI usb3 card out of my existing PC.
