Cpu - AMD Llano A8-3870K Socket FM1 Quad Core
motherboard - Asus F1A75-deluxe
Memory - 2 X 4 Gig corsair Vengeance ddr3
Case - Wesena Mini ITX7-2 Case
hard drive - WD Caviar Green 3 TB
32 gig ssd drive
Above is my proposed build for htpc, but i need expert advice to determine if the cpu would run too hot for the case which i am currently smitten with, i've wanted an mini itx htpc since they first came out also what psu should i go with i would like a silent solution if possible and have been looking at the pico psu but in all honesty dont understand them.
Also i think im going to need a small silent cooler to replace the stock amd one is there anything i could fit in this case along with my other bits or am i dreaming!!
Please dont recommend alternative cpu's as i have the llano sitting on a shelf already and could only return it if i take a 20% hit on stocking fee.
Thank you
