Thanks for the info, great!
How hard is it to upgrade a processor later? I'm thinking of buying a i3 now, but like to be able to upgrade to a i7 later.
So then MSI or ASUS might be better. But is that working with the integrated GPU?
You have a PS without fan? Most PS I see have a fan inside (120mm)
That's why you have a midi tower and no mini tower I guess...
Thanks, I'll search for one.
Probably a good choice. Intel processors are able to handle more heat than the ones from AMD.

Most motherboards usually works, but Intel is generally less tweakable,
which could be important if you want a silent computer.

Yes, but also check out www.silentpcreview.com.
Power:
When it comes to a power supply I was thinking about Enermax PRO82+ 385W. I
heard that brand is good...

Bigger is more silent. bigger => colder => more silent.

Another (extremly important) factor to look out for is that the PSU is placed at the bottom of the case, and not anywhere near the CPU.
Antec, fractal design and coolermaster are some manufacturers
providing this design.

At notam we have also made this guide/recommendation list for building a silent computer:

Great info, thanks
