I'm planning on building my first PC, something small and fairly quiet I've already got a SG05 case, 1tb hard drive and windows 7. The only things I need are a mother board, CPU and RAM. I'm planning on getting and i3 530,4GB of ocz gold DDR3, Gigabyte Mini itx mother board and an SSD in a few months time.

I was just wondering if the following will work together well or if anyone has any other ideas. I'm planning on using the integrated graphics on the i3 so don't need a graphics card and will be using a USB optical drive. Also any tips on coolers and making it as quiet as possible, I know it will never be silent but the least noise the better.

Any help gratefully received, thanks.
 
Hey there,
the components you've listed will work just fine.
If you feel you need to replace the stock intel hsf supplied with the i530 cpu for something less noisy,then the Prolimatech Samuel 17 with a low rpm fan is highly regarded in the sff world atm.
