Here are some points I think are relevant for you.1) DDR4 will be significantly cheaper by the time you build, if it is indeed May 2016 that you are planning to build.2) Skylake should offer significantly better overclocks on average with the removal of the FIVR from the CPU. With the lack of availability, we won't know for sure until Sept/Oct at which point more people will then have it. It is very difficult to get above 4.4ghz on many Haswell/Devil's Canyon chips, let alone in a SFF rig which usually means increased thermals.3) Silence is a subjective thing. Very subjective. Regardless, in a SFF ITX build, choose between silence or extreme performance. You aren't getting both in the M1 unless you mimic Phuncz's build pretty much identically, and even then, his was a fairly modest overclock.
