any thoughts on this spec? I wanted the silent PSU hence higher W. Any comments ?

[keynes]

is for mainly work around word, excel, email, some photo light touch up (rare).

considering what you are planning to use it for I wouldn't go with the spec you posted. An i5 will do the job.

That case doesn't have great airflow

That case doesn't have great airflow

for his intended use it should be more than adequate.

 

[A314159]

True. But then why get such high end components?

final check;; mainly work PC with numerous apps concurrent / mostly excel / lotus notes (arghhh) outlook / word -- not much gaming - want lighting fast & dual NICs ..
is there any point to go with 16gig ram ?

Quite possibly complete overkill. Also don't go with a silent case.

 

[SpyderTracks]

Agree with A314159, what you've got at the moment is totally over the top... can reduce many components...

[Rakk]

csol, I've merged all 4 of your threads together since they all seem to be about the same spec.
For future reference it's better if you can keep to one thread when talking about the same machine, it means people don't end up asking the same questions or suggesting the same things multiple times.

 

[Rakk]

Also don't go with a silent case.

Given the uses do not include gaming (and a low powered GPU) a silent case would be perfectly fine.

 

[keynes]

Also don't go with a silent case.

Why?

Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Processor i7-4820K (3.7GHz) 10MB Cache Complete overkill. The i7 4770 will be ample (not the k version), even i5 would be more suitable

Is it just for office/general use?
