So I just replaced my case, mobo, ram and CPU to make a new kick-ass PC - with much help from the awesome overclockers community 
So I have the following parts left:
- mid tower case with stock front/back fans
- mini ATX motherboard https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...150-ddr3-micro-atx-motherboard-mb-621-as.html
- Intel Core i7 CPU
- Half-working AIO (CLC) corsair CPU water cooler
- 8GB RAM
I also have
- A spare 128GB SSD
- thermal paste
- I think I have an old graphics card (MSI GeForce GTX 760 OC Gaming Edition 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card). Although I could not find it immediately in my attic! - but I am not really sure if I need it?
I am just missing:
- Power supply
Planned Usage
I plan to make this a linux box to act as a simple media server (i.e. use VLC media player, play netflix on a web browser - just simple stuff!). I would also like it to be quiet when idle and not too noisy when watching films / tv.
What I think I would get
The name of the game here is to make this as cheap as possible
- Power supply. I was thinking this cheapo one: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/kolink-classic-power-500w-80-plus-bronze-power-supply-ca-04e-kk.html
- Air cooler fan, I was thinking: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/zalman-cnps4x-92mm-cpu-cooler-black-hs-09g-za.html
I think the PSU is a no-brainer - just get the cheapest one I can find (might be wrong on that). I check all the power cables it provides and it seems to meet my needs.
The air cooler I am less sure about. I just found the cheapest that was available now and said it had "high Intel compatibility". I am not really sure if this cheap fan will be quiet or if it is really compatible with my Intel core i7 (or motherboard?). It appears to come with a pack of brackets and screws etc.
Questions
So I thought I would check if these two look about right. Is there any reason I might want a better fan cooler or PSU?
Do I even need to bother with a graphics card? - I think the on-board graphics of my mobo will support 4k TV (so the web site says).
