The Intel SSD's are proven reliable now.

Here is a fanless PSU for quiet:

Newegg.ca - SeaSonic Platinum Series SS-400FL2 Active PFC F3 400W ATX12V Fanless 80 PLUS Platinum Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Passive CPU cooling is not really an option, but a closed loop liquid cooler would be:

Newegg.ca - CORSAIR Hydro series H50 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

This will require a case change - you need one that has a rear or top 120mm fan cutout to mount the radiator:

Newegg.ca - Fractal Design Arc Mini Black High Performance PC Computer Case w/ USB 3.0 and 3 Fractal Design Silent Fans

It has 3 fans and comes with a controller, you will have to experiment to balance off noise and cooling ability. I suspect that you will be able to run it with only 1 exhaust fan.
