I'm building a media PC for the front room. The computer will be used for watching DVD's and streaming music. I have some old components i'm going to reuse, however I need most help with the case & CPU cooler.

These are the existing components to build around.

Gigabyte P55-UD2

i5 750 (will keep at stock and undervolt)
4 x 2GB of Corsair XMS3 (original design from 2009 high heat spreaders)
Crucial M4 64GB SSD
640GB 2.5" laptop drive (may use also)
Quadro NVS 295 (based on 8400GS, maybe to slow but will try)
Regular size DVD drive.
For audio i'm taking the motherboards digital out into a digital amp.

And these are the components I was planning on buying.

Seasonic 460w Fanless (it's on offer this week)

Can someone also recommend a CPU cooler, bear in mind will run the i5 750 at stock and undervolted.
 
Thanks for everyones help. I do like the arctic cooling PWN's fans, use these in all other builds.

Could anyone recommend an alternative case? Budget is around £200, so after £100 for PSU around £100-£120 for case and CPU cooler.

If it's any help I would like a case that suits a Pioneer separates amp, don't laff but it will sit either under or next to this (amp looks better in real life, than pic found on web)

Also I don't want any case fans to noisy, I can always run any 12v fans at 5 or 7.5v to slow them down.
