Back when there was a difference between PCs and workstations the main
rule I remember was that about half the money went to the screen.

My last PC/workstation was a good bit less money than that and
*actually* (rather than "extra") silent (Thin-ITX with a fanless case).
Admittedly, it was only dual-core, but looking at recent processors,
quad-cores (e.g. Ryzen 5 Pro 3400G, tho the Ryzen 5 Pro 3400GE's 35W TDP
would be even better) should fit within the power-constraints of such
a fanless case.
