For someone new to this, i'd suggest the i5 and a fanless case if you can find one.

You can undervolt the CPU and get SUBSTANTIALLY lower CPU temps without lowering any performance of the system. I have a few i7 NUC's and my fans never turn on; even under high load conditions.
Its a bit of a process to do this as every CPU is different and will behave differently to undervolting so there is no tried and true value that works for everyone. If there is enough interest in how to do this, I may be able to be persuaded to do a youtube video on how to do it.
