I have a ~$600 budget. This will be for general use, light gaming and video transcoding. I want this build to be a bit quieter and I'm willing to splurge a little. If you want to replace some parts, feel free but I think I'm sticking with the case. The $0 parts below are the ones that'll be reusing.
