Silent / Super Quiet 4K machine

Post by Xraptorx » Tue Mar 28, 2017 10:40 am

I leave the pic on 24x7. It is my media server, download station, torrent box and web surfing tool. Additionally, I sometimes want to play 4K games like (Civ 6 and witcher 3).

I was thinking to build a mini lv and wanted to know what is the smallest case that will fit a Evga 1080 hybrid graphics card ( figure this card should be quieter than one with fans)? Also what case and CPU would you recommend for a new build that should be silent when idle and not too loud when running 4K games?
