I need it small, rather powerful, silent preffered

[Mokmo418]

I need something that will not take a lot of space in my room. I'd like to keep it on at night, so no overclocking, I'll use the pattern from the sticky... lots of memory is preferable (i don't get the multiples of 3 in memory configuration...)

1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
School work, medium gaming (Eve Online mostly, huge expansion coming and the lappy already has a hard time on the test ervers with all eye candy off)

2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
700$ CDN most accessories and cabling taken care of. Does not account for the LCD.

3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
Canada

4. IF YOU have a brand preference.
None, best power for the buck

5. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
All cables as i have too many in stock anyways

6. IF YOU have searched and/or read similar threads.
Not much, barely know what multi-core means

7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
default speeds

8. WHEN do you plan to build it?
Within the next month

If the price is just a little too high, you can save $30 and downgrade to the Phenom II X3 710. You said you wouldn't be overclocking, and I wouldn't recommend it in a mATX case, so other than losing 200 MHz, you won't miss the unlocked multiplier on the 720 BE.
