Coolermaster HAF for a 'silent' pc?

Before you laugh me out, hear me out please.
I have an aging system in an antec 300 case.
Wanting to make it quiter i bought the corsair 550 silent case - but now i think i made a mistake and that i would be bett served by the haf - and changing components to make a quite system.
Most silent cases i see rely on fans for airflow - and dampening to seal the sound in. I suspect the fans have to work hard in order for components to cool down.
With the HAF its Got huge fans that can spin slowly - i could also get noctua fans instead.
Get a mb with heat sink- my evga has a fan - and its loud.
Get a haswell 65W cpu.
Get a ssd.
Get a passive cpu cooler.
Basically, ive eliminated all sources of sound from within the enclosure.
Thoughts? Or should i stick go my corsair 550d and get the components ive mentioned?
I just feel the components are going to get stifled in the heat....
