Which integrated CPU

[koolpc]

Which PSU's are known to be the quietest these days?

 

[koolpc]

Any half decent one will be silent at the wattage level this build will consume.
Most don't turn on the fan until they are pulling at least 200W.
I'd be wary of a bronze rated one if used much as the efficiency can be very poor and especially at low wattage.
I'd rather pay more for a better PSU and it might payback the difference in reduced running costs over time.
If you might want to add a GPU down the line, choose one that is fanless until 300W or so.

Any that you recommend with that in mind?

Is this a decent one:

Have you decided on a case/motherboard format?

It has some bearing on the PSU, like if you went with Lian Li's A3, a compact PSU like Phanteks AMP GH is better if going ATX. If you're going ITX, it may require SFX.

I have, see page 2

Ah.

Says max length: 165mm. That's not very much, but I assume it doesn't include cables, in which case most PSUs would fit.

The Corsair PSU I listed is 140mm in length...is it a decent PSU?

 

[koolpc]

A decent PSU is a must. I thought Corsair was solid but maybe not then?

PC parts buying is always a story of oh just a little bit more and...... that's how I end up spending thousands despite starting with modest intentions

Exactly!!

 

[koolpc]

as always, the devil is in the detail

I have been out of the upgrading route for a very long time...

They all make varying grades of rubbish. Not that the RMe is rubbish, it just isn't a top pick.

I see, thanks....

Are Silverstone a good brand these days?

 

[koolpc]

Well, still not built a PC yet.

Still want to go ITX route with integrated GPU. Trying to figure out the right components at the moment. I think these are all ok? What about the monitor I have chosen? 27" is the size I want....

Anyone..

I am thinking of getting an m.2 drive. Only need 500gb....any recommendations? Also, compatible with above mobo? Ta

 

[koolpc]

Any reputable one will be fine except the bargain basement ones (eg don't get the crucial e100)

Thanks

There's a spreadsheet on newmaxx's reddit which can be helpful to compare:

Thanks...it's 7yr old though.

It is updated frequently, but some of the newer models don't have complete entries.

Ok, ta....

Just looking for a decent 500gb model.
