Hey guys, its come time to update the HTPC we have, at the moment its a few years old, its specs are:
Intel C2D 6320(? I think) 1.86ghz dual core
4GB DDR2 ram
Radeon 5450
1TB 7200 RPM Hitacthi HDD (plan on keeping this)
Thermaltake Tenor PC case
OCZ 600W PSU
I'm looking at going with the new AMD Fusion processors so I can get rid of a card in there, here is what I'm looking at:
CPU: AMD A6 3500
RAM: ARAM 1333mhz 1.5V DDR3 2x2GB
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-A55M-S2H
Case: Silverstone GD05 Black HTPC Case
PSU: Silverstone Nightjar 400W Fanless SF40NF
TV Tuner: Avermedia AVer3D CaptureHD
I'm not too sure on the power supply there, I want something quiet BUT I'm not sure if I should go a fanless one, they require great airflow right? Maybe not something suited to a HTPC type case?
These are the PSUs I have lined up:

Some advice would be great, any tips/improvements would be awesome.
Thanks much.
