Quiet $900 PC for Work & Gaming

I need some help putting together a quiet $900 build. I’ll be using it for office work during the day (lots of multitasking, spreadsheets, Zoom) and 1080p gaming in the evenings (single-player titles & some light online multiplayer).

My priorities:

  • Quiet operation (no jet engine fans if possible)
  • Reliable performance for years, with the option to upgrade later
  • Good airflow but not a bulky case

Can anyone put together a solid parts list for me? I don’t need peripherals or Windows. SSD storage is fine as don’t need huge capacity.

Quick questions - do you want a discrete quiet GPU (better for gaming) or would you prefer to rely on integrated graphics to keep noise and cost down, and are there any firm size constraints (mATX/mini-ITX) or a specific noise target you’re aiming for?

Thanks for asking!! I’d prefer a discrete GPU since I want decent 1080p gaming performance, but I also want to keep the build quiet. I’m flexible on case size as long as it’s not huge, and ideally I’d like the fans to be barely noticeable under normal use. Low noise is more important than squeezing every dollar of performance.
