seeking hardware advice

Hello:
	I am putting together the specs for a new system; intended mostly as a 
workstation, but with side hustles as a local server (web, name, time, 
even some database).  I want it to run FreeBSD 15, and the next few 
major releases.
	I've got the CPU, motherboard, graphics, and memory figured out; now I 
need advice on two other aspects.
	The easy one: SSDs.  I want to prioritize "reliable" over "big" or 
"fast".  What brands (/models) currently have a good reputation?
	The hard one: non-fan CPU cooling methods.  I know zero about this - is 
there a primer somewhere I have failed to find?


			Respectfully,
