Please help me with a new ~$600 office build

[The Fire Snake]

Hi guys. I really need your help. I am trying to build a new machine for a family member. This build will be an office build and the person keeps machines till they die. So, I have been doing some research in this regard. I will list you some of my requirements and some parts I have been looking at. I won't be overclocking. Could you please provide me your advise so that I get the most powerful machine for $600 plus or minus a few bucks? This would be just for the tower. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!! :thumb:

My Requirements:

• Needs to be super reliable as the machine will be used for years
• Around $600. I need the best for this money.
• No gaming or video trans-coding. The only video will be watching Youtube videos and any basic graphics on the web.
• Will be used for typing documents using Office 2010, Surfing the web and coding in Visual Studio once in a while.
• I need the machine to be as silent as possible. Can I get away with out running any case fans?

CPU:
I am looking at a high end core Ivy Bridge i5 processor. So I am looking at the following 2 CPUs:

• Intel Core i5-3570K
• Intel Core i5-3570

CPU cooler:
Can I stay with the stock cooler? I thought since I wasn't overclocking, I would be ok with the stock cooler but I am reading some horrible reviews of the included cooler even for non overclocking use. What do you think I should do? If I do an aftermarket cooler, I need it to be quite and since I am not overlcoking, I don't think it has to be a monster cooler.

OS:
I am planning on doing Windows 8 64 bit Home version - OEM

Case:
I am looking for something with a very clean simple look. All black with no LED lights or windows. I need one to be as silent as possible and want to spend around $50 for one. I would ideally like one with USB 3.0 front ports if possible. If there is case that has 2.0 but is a great case, I would be willing to consider it. So here are the ones I am considering

• Corsair Carbide Series 200R
• Antec Three Hundred Illusion
• NZXT Tempest 210 CA-TP210-01
• NZXT Source 210 S210-001
• Xigmatek ASGARD PRO USB 3.0 CCC-AE37BS-U02
• Thermaltake V3 Black Edition VL80001W2Z
• Thermaltake V4 Black Edition
• Thermaltake Versa II VO700A1N3N
• COOLER MASTER RC-692-KKN2 CM690 II
• COOLER MASTER RC-692A-KKN5
• GIGABYTE GZ-F5HEB

Moniter, PSU, DWDRW drive and memory
I have all of these already. I have the following PSU. Is it enough to power this build with no problems?
Antec Basiq BP430 430W

SSD
The user doesn't need much storage but the SSD will give screaming performance. The last time I was shopping for an SSD, the Sandforce controller was not too good. People were reccomending the Crucial or Samsung 830. Looks like the Samsung has upgraded to the 840. So here is what I am looking at

• SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series
• Crucial M4

Motherboard
This is where I am confused which one would be best. I need an ATX board, able to expand the memory to 32 GB, USB 3.0, SATA 6.0. So I am considering ASUS, ASROCK and Gigabyte as they seem to be producing some good boards. I am looking to spend $120 ish. Is there any point spending more for a MOBO if I am not overclocking? Does spending more give me more reliability? Here are the ones I am considering:

• ASRock Z77 Pro4
• ASRock Z77 Pro3
• ASUS P8Z77-V LE
• ASUS P8Z77-V LX
• ASUS P8Z77-V LK
• GIGABYTE GA-Z77-HD3
• GIGABYTE GA-Z77-DS3H

GPU
I will be using the GPU built into the core i5.

What DVD drive and memory do you have? The BP430 can power it no problem but it's not particularly quiet.

Any reason you can't use a micro ATX board? The good ones do have 4 memory slots.

We recommend Intel 330 or 520 SSD's for reliability. Intel uses custom firmware that's very stable.

Those Z77 mobos you listed are popular with overclockers and gamers so consider a B75 board for business.
