Hi guys, I'm looking to downsize my system as I no longer game on it. It currently sits under my desk and gets in the way a bit.

Here is my current spec

Silverstone Fortress FT01
i5 2500k
8Gb RAM
250Gb Samsung Evo SSD
1TB HDD
ATi 6950
Corsair HX850
Samsung BluRay drive

My uses are

Playing films - HDMI out to AV receiver (Bitstreaming is essential)
Playing music - USB to an external DAC
General browsing - Connected Display Port to Dell 23" monitor

I'd want it to be near enough silent.

What could I use from my existing system and what new parts will I need to buy, choosing a case first.

Am I going to be limiting my size by keeping the BluRay drive?

Any help or advice would be great.
Thanks
 
I have a Gigabyte Z77 UD3 I believe, full size ATX.

Thanks for the replies, I'll check out those cases later and see how much room they will save me. Like the Corsair one.
