Hi all,
Old PC just died after 7 years... so time for a new one. I don't play games though, and most people's advice on systems builds seems to be quite games specific. I do some audio/image/video editing, and the usual web/office/movie stuff, and my priorities are that it be quiet, quick, and relatively cheap. I don't mind trying a bit of overclocking if it helps and it's relatively painless - I don't have hours to spend fiddling with settings, and don't really know what I am doing
I already have a case (Antec P180), PSU (Antec Neo HE500), and monitor (Dell U2713HM), and I'll need a new optical drive as the old one is EIDE.
I was thinking of adding the following:

Or without the overclocking potential:

I would use the built in HD530 for graphics, but could maybe add a gpu at a later date if i needed it.
Any advice gratefully received! Is it overkill?
Cheers,
bud
