    I wanted to ask your opinion about a home PC I'm building.
    needs:

    * Office heavy usage (many Office applications simultaneously).
    * HD video broadcasting (simultaneously with office usage)

    build:

    * AMD ATHLON II X4 635 BOX
    * GIGABYTE GA-MA785GMT-UD2H
    * CORSAIR 2GB 1333MHZ
    * SAMSUNG 1TB SPINPOINT F3 32MB
    * ENERMAX LAGUNA HTPC +300

    Some questions of mine:

    1.Is <AMD 635 (with GIGABYTE 785)>
    better than <intel i3 (with, GIGABYTE H55M)> ?

    2. CPU Cooler - is it necessary? Can I do without it?

    3. Computer Case - I want something nice and quiet (better small).
    I got strong recommendation on Antec NSK-2480, saying it is much better than Enermax Laguna.
    Is it worth the size and price? what about NSK-1480 - is it good?


    I will be happy to get any other remarks.

    Thanks

    Kobi
