I used the step-by-step advice on Lnx2Mac's Blog to build my first silent PC. It's very quiet compared to what I had before.
Here are the components I used:
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-P55M-UD4
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003FOIRY4?ie=UTF8
CPU: Intel Core i7-860 2.8GHz
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002KQ5KE8?ie=UTF8
CPU Cooler: Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B (Model SCMG-2100)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001OCPRQ0?ie=UTF8
RAM: G.SKILL ECO 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 (Model F3-12800CL7D-4GBECO)

Graphics Card: GIGABYTE GV-N98TSL-1GI GeForce 9800 GT 1GB Silent Cell

Hard Disk Drive: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA

These are the different parts used due to unavailability:

Case: Antec Sonata III 500 (with 500W PSU)

If you never built a PC before, you'll find his blog indispensable.
