In the next days I should assemble a PC with this configuration:
- Case: Fractal Design R5 Black Window
- Motherboard Asrock Z370 extreme4
- CPU: Intel I5 8400
- Ram: 2x8gb 3000Mhz Corsair
- Power supply: Corsair RM650x
- CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 33
- SSD: Intel 600p 500Gb M.2.
- Monitor: Dell SE2717H
- Video card: integrated one (for now)
Before seeing answers with obvious objections, I would like to point out that:
1) I know that the Z370 chipset if not overclocking is wasted. I'm not going to overclock, but currently the H370 motherboards are not seen and I have to order the components next week.
2) I know that the power supply is oversized and not a little, but as you may have noticed the video card is missing. With the prices that are there now I can not afford it, then as soon as things are settled I will proceed to purchase. It will certainly be a Radeon, to take advantage of the FreeSync feature of the monitor. So the "oversized" power supply maybe I find it good in a second moment, even if almost certainly a 550W will be enough and will move anyway.
Since I've never tried it as a brand, can I opt for an Asrock, or remain on the "classic" Asus (which in the case will be a Z370 prime-a)?
As for the Arctic heatsink, on the site they say it is also compatible for Coffee Lake CPUs, since they have the same socket as the previous generation, but I have not found a compatibility table with the various motherboards. On the website PcPartPicker tells me that there are no known incompatibilities, but for security I wrote an email to those of Arctic to have a confirmation, hoping that they answer me.
As a second hard drive, I will probably add a 1Tb SSD sooner or later when prices fall, but for now video card and second HDD are postponed to a date to be allocated.
I forgot: the main thing I look at is practically only one: it must be as silent as possible. So quiet that if there are not the various LEDs on I do not have to realize that it is on

Any suggestions?
I have choosed the RM650X because the fan if is not loaded are off, and the cpu cooler too = 0db system when I'm in windows.
Thanks in advance!
