Planning a Skylake PC micro ATX - Business use mainly, rare gaming

[racerking]

HI,

 

I just sold my gaming rig that I don't use anymore, and I'm interested in getting a new Skylake system mainly for business work, movie editing, graphics, and running 3 screens 1080p or using two 4k screens. I have an SSD and OS, mouse and keyboard.

 

Im not interested in running games at 4k resolution, I may play a game 2-4 hours a month on it just for fun.

 

Mainly I want the system to run extremely quiet. So cooling, fans, and power supply are important to me.

 

I know its probably overkill but I want an i7 processor and good ram.

 

CPU - i7 6700k
CPU Cooler - something efficient and quiet
POWER - Quiet power supply

MB - Asus Maximus Gene (can support a 4k screen)

RAM - DDR3 or DDR 4 recommendations?

GFX - any recommendations? 3 screen output, future capable of running 2 displays at 4k 60 refresh

CASE - I had a Fractal Design which was nice - key is quiet
 

 

Thank you for your suggestions,

Im thinking around $ 1000 - $ 1300 max. Just building the box out. I have the 4k screens and 1080p panels that I will use on the system.

The build I made is within budget, should easily drive your displays and each component was chosen to ensure the machine was very quiet.

The builds that @TechGod and I mentioned are both great builds for what your trying to do.

You gave him a better GPU so yeah, your build is pretty great and barely goes over his budget. Either way, he won't be disappointed.
