Forgot the GTX 1050ti 4gb for display adapter since Chrome's HTML5 videos uses shit ton of graphical resources... alternatively you could just buy a cheapo i3 laptop and use Firefox

You also need to take out all case and CPU cooler fans and leave the side panel open

Or, use this thing called a phone which has no fans...

Chrome runs fine on my mac air that only has a dual core and 4Gb of ram, its really not that resource intensive (And I have a crap ton of extensions running)

To be fair, my normal rig is almost silent. I just put on headphones (even without music) or open the windows and the sound is gone. Even under my usual gaming load of playing and recording Minecraft with nvenc my GPU is silent at only 50-60 celsius. I have a 960 G1 Gaming. Gigabytes quality has really gone down.

Running windows? That uses all the ram it can take (If its free, why not). Unless you close all the background tasks, doesn't really mean much.  To be fair, I dont keep much open on it as it is for school only, but it can defiantly handle 15-20 tabs open no problem.

More RAM!

 

At least 4 terabytes, Chrome is enterprise software designed for watercooled servers!
