sold my gaming pc a while ago and really miss it

so decided to build a new Quiet small form factor one

Is this a good build?

Not sure what power supply to get maybe the Silverstone PSU Strider ST75F-P 750W?
cooler for the cpu a silverstone NT06?

Palit GeForce GTX 460 Sonic 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Intel Core i5 760 2.80GHz (Lynnfield) (Socket LGA1156)
Crucial RealSSD C300 64GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive
Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3 Intel H55 (Socket 1156) DDR3 Mini-ITX Motherboard
Silverstone Sugo SG01B-F Evolution Aluminium Micro-ATX Case - Black
G.Skill RipJaw 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C7 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
BenQ G2222HDL 21.5" Widescreen LED Monitor - Black

Any suggestions on using better or different components as I'm new to the SFF scene

I don't really want to go too mad on cost as well, want to keep it under 1k :-)

Thanks Chipps

Are you saying attach a 120mm silent eagle fan to the big scythe cooler?

Any recommendations on a really quiet psu?

And would I be able to use these parts in a SG05 with uprated psu
 
If it went with this revised spec what would be the best graphics bang for buck to go in this system ?

Can someone recommend me a 750watt quiet modular psu as I'm not sure if the BeQuiet I have in my spec is a good choice.

OCZ Gold 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Low-Voltage Dual Channel
Scythe Shuriken BIG Quiet Low Profile CPU Cooler
Sharkoon Silent Eagle 1000 120mm Fan
Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB SATA-II 64MB Cache

This is coming in at £833 without graphics card :(

Any ideas where I can save some money without compromising quality and performance too much

I want a gaming SFF what will be good for a year or so.
