I want to make a build for my family with no fans, so it will be silent. I know a HDD will spin up but that is fine as it should not be spinning often as I want to use an sad for the os. It will be used for very light gaming and general web browsing. Budget: under $400, no keyboard, mouse, or monitor. Thanks!

Still not sure what you want from us.... Pick out all the parts? Just passive components? what? Do you have any parts?

Feel free to message me if you want to chat!

You're not going to get an SSD, completely passive cooling and a gaming capable machine for 400$.

Sure you can, but it's not going to be a very enjoyable experience. For a browsing machine, sure.

How is that going to be more silent? You'll have both the sound of a fan and a pump.

Spend $10 on a silent fan. And use some sound dampening foam on the sides of the case, its like $1/foot

Then why not just get a completely passive cooler for much less? :D It's not like he would need to overclock.

I want to make a build for my family with no fans, so it will be silent. I know a HDD will spin up but that is fine as it should not be spinning often as I want to use an sad for the os. It will be used for very light gaming and general web browsing. Budget: under $400, no keyboard, mouse, or monitor. Thanks!

 

 

lol u derped a whole lot xD 

1st a post which didnt ask a great question 

then u quote ur own post for no reason =P

 

anyways 

all u need is to go buy an apu

with a nice big cooler 

cheap case

70-120£ mobo

use old hdd or get new ones cuz they are so dammed cheap

buy windows or pirate it to increase ur budget =D

 

for that kind of system dont put a ssd in it hard drives are NOT loud inside a case 

seriously your wasting your money on a ssd save the money for a gpu or something for your own rig

What gaming. This should be an Internet browsing mashine. Very light gaming is Minecraft, that won't heat up anything and it's a pretty good cooler, but he can allways get better, I left $100 in the budget.

He doesn't need 120GB. The PSU is a waste of money since a PSU fans ramps up only in load, this system hasn't got any load, so it will be silent.
