I've noticed a huge difference in the nosie put out by various PSUs.
Would you consider this combination quieter than other quality PSUs and cases? As you can probably tell, a quiet running system is very important to me.

Anyone looking for a completely quiet machine will have probably purchased a third-party cooler to bring down the noise. If this is your intention, then that machine will be a match made in heaven inside the Sonata II. The Tricool fan and Smart Power 2.0 PSU work well with the Big Typhoon in keeping the noise level at a minimum.

This is one of the best combinations you can get without looking towards Silent PSUs and passive coolers, which, despite being quieter still, are more expensive and arguably less effective.

I see a couple have mentioned a gig of RAM. Is that obviously enough, or would I be better served to get 2 gigs?

For what you're doing, 1 gig will be fine.
