Advice on the parts for a home-used production system
Posted: Tue Dec 03, 2013 10:26 pm
Greetings
I greatly appreciate your advice and feedback on my system.
The system will be used to: record video-tutorials/podcasts, editing videos/photos, rendering HD videos(1920,1280,720p), web programming as well as personal use and an occasional gaming. (ie Camtasia, Photoshop, Lightroom, DreamWeaver, Sony Vegas, Adobe Premier, Audacity)
Hence it needs to be powerful and quite, Specially it needs to be as quite as possible during screen recording.
My plan(Considering local availability and the price):
CPU: i7 4770K Quad Core 3.5GHZ Haswell 8MB
Graphic: GeForce GTX 770 2GB (Not sure about the brand, Maybe ASUS, suggest a quite one please)
Motherboard: ASRock Z87 Extreme4
HD: Sandisk ultra plus 128Gb SSD
CASE: Fractal Design Define R4
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB SDRAM DDR3 1866
CPU COOLER: Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100i or Noctua’s NH-D14
Tom's Hardware suggests NH-D14 is more quite than H100i, but acknowledges the issue of being bulky is a risk. Also H100i has some build-in software controller for adjusting fans! Please advice what do you suggest.

PSU:
1)Antec EA-650 EarthWatts Platinum 650W 80Plus Platinum (sale $70) or
2)Antec EarthWatts Platinum 550 W($93 - Tom's Hardware Recommended) or
3)Rosewill SilentNight-500 500W 80 PLUS PLATINUM Fanless ($140 - SPCR Recommended)
3)Seasonic Platinum Fanless 520W PSU ($160 - SPCR Recommended)
Question is should I go fanless or should I stick with the other options?
I have read the articles on the site about the editor's recommended case, CPU, fan, etc. However, I was unable to pick all my selections out of those lists. I have used following reviews to select some of my parts:

Motherboard: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/z87 ... ,3582.html
Thank you for your time
