Hi,
I need help to choose my new PC configuration for coding, media playback, streaming and with 4k support
Approximate Purchase Date: in a month
Budget Range: $800 / 900€ (after Shipping)
System Usage from Most to Least Important:
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade:
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: amazon.it, eprice.it, ebay.it
Location: Italy
Parts Preferences: Prefer to avoid Gygabyte for the Modo because I read it has issues with Linux OS's.
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No (I don't think I will need for my use cases, right?)
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080, but in the future I will upgrade to 4K
Additional Comments:
some comments about the tower:
Any help will be appreciate, especially full build suggestions (e.g. builds from https://pcpartpicker.com/)
Thank you!

- GPU
- RAM
- Power supply
- Motherboard
- Tower
- Fans (for quite configuration, if not included in the tower)

some comments about the tower:
- need a cool tower, good airflow, great cable management and easiness of cleaning.
- since I want a quite PC configuration, I am planning to buy quite fans, so, in tower the tower you are advising included fans, it would be nice to be quite ones or at least would be nice the tower to be thought for quite configurations.
- I have a CD/DVD reader and a fan controller, so it would be nice to have a place for them in the front (about the fan controller only if needed and not included in the new tower).
- it would be nice the tower to have easily removable dust filters.
Any help will be appreciate, especially full build suggestions (e.g. builds from https://pcpartpicker.com/)
Thank you!
