Thanks everyone for all the suggestions..

With some help from a buddy, I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger on this build.. so if you guys could take a look and let me know what you think—specifically if I should tweak anything, like bumping up the power supply or maybe switching to CL9 RAM—I'd really appreciate it. I went with 1TB because shipping isn't free unless I hit the $2,000 mark, and the price difference is only $27..

Hi everyone!

I'm looking to pick up a new computer case—my budget is roughly $667 plus or minus $200 or $300 if a slightly better option means it’ll last me longer...
- I already have my peripherals, monitor, and printer ready to go.

The setup will mainly be used for watching movies, browsing the web, and some basic office work like Word documents and presentations.

Just for context, the monitor I'm currently using is a 21-inch model.
A 250 GB hard drive should be plenty, though I wouldn't mind jumping up to 500 GB if it fits within the specs.

If possible, the most important thing for me would be finding something that runs as quietly as possible...

Thanks so much to anyone who takes a moment out of their day to help me out!
