I am looking to build a completely non-moving absolute-silent build.

Can anyone see any problems with the following:

Code: 
Streacom ST-F8CB EVO HTPC Aluminium Case - Black
Intel Core i3-3225 3.30GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (55W) - Retail 
Gigabyte Z77N-WIFI Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Mini ITX Motherboard
Samsung 128GB SSD 840 PRO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7PD128BW)
Streacom Nano 150w HTPC Power Supply/Adapter
Samsung Green (MV-3V4G3D/US) 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz 30nm Dual Channel Kit

Should I pick a different hard drive?

I am mostly concerned about the compatibility of the motherboard and case (+ heatpipes to cool CPU) .

I've had an M4 in the past....how do these compare? Faster? (Because the numbers don't look as good).

My OS will be Windows 8 if it matters.

Crutial -
Sequential Read (up to): 550MB/sec
Sequential Write (up to): 220MB/sec

Plextor -
Maximum Read: 540MB/sec
Maximum Write: 330MB/sec

Samsung -
Sequential Read: 530MB/s
Sequential Write: 390MB/s

Windows 7/8 will load up in 10-15 seconds.

If firmware updates are avaliable for the SSD's this will more than likely increase read/write speeds too!

I've owned a sandforce controller ssd and found that my 840 pro is so much quicker in both read and write, also the type of NAND in the Samsung should last longer too and keep the quick read and writes. And a 5 year warranty aint bad either.
