Hi, I'm building a new PC for general family use: internet/office, etc. - basic stuff, but old Pentium 4 unable to handle this anymore, so I have following setup in mind:
CPU: Intel i3 2100
MOBO: Asus P8H67-M PRO B3 (Link)
RAM: Corsair 4GB (2GBx2) 1333MHz CL9 (TW3X4G1333C9A) (Link)
HDD: Samsung F3 500GB 16MB Cache (HD52HJ)
So, first, what do you think about this setup and part's compatibility?
And secondary, I have a trouble finding CPU cooler.
Stock Intel fan, though is generally OK for this PC, is using push-pin mounting, which is very messy and unreliable. I had a lot of troubles with it in the past.
So I need a retention-plate-based quiet cooler for 1155 socket, some popular type maybe, so I'll be able to find it outside US. Any recommendations for it???
And another thing, I also need to find a case, classic-looking compact one, somewhat ventilated, and silent, with at least 120mm fans, with USB ports in the upper part of the front panel (maybe USB 3), also to be able to contain 2 CD/DVD drives.
Will be glad to hear your opinions and suggestions
Thanks
