If you want a silent setup a big case helps a lot

A big 120 mm fan spinning slowly will move as much air as a small fan spinning fast, except the first one will be nearly noiseless and the second one — not at all. The only part that can be difficult to silence is the gpu as there is no room for a big fan on a PCI card, so either you go totally fanless for the GPU or it will drown the other parts in noise.
