[Quiet] Gaming Rig advice
Posted: Sun Sep 22, 2013 9:03 am
Hello,
I'm new to the forums and I've been checking out the reviews on SPC for a few weeks now. I'm preparing to build a custom gaming PC that will have (hopefully) low noise under normal usage (I don't plan to overclock any of the components, at least not for a while). Budget wise I would like to keep it under 2000E, hence I did not go for the top GPU available on the market. My objective is not to build the best possible gaming rig, but to balance performance with low noise levels in a PC that can last me for a few years (maybe a bit optimistic
Here's what I have so far after combing SPC and several other sources:
Case : Nanoxia Deep Silence 6 (not released yet, but it's due in the coming weeks)
Power source : Seasonic X-series 650W
Motherboard : Asus Z87 Plus
Processor : Intel Haswell i7 4770 3.4Ghz
Cooler : Noctua NH-U14S
Video card : Gainward GeForce GTX 770 Phantom 4GB
Storage : SSD Samsung 250GB SATA-III 2.5 inch 840 EVO Series Basic
RAM : Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 Dual Channel Kit
I'd love to get some input on this setup if anyone has experience with building quiet PCs. The last PC I built was close to 10 years ago, and back then silence was not a concern for me, so I'm very much a beginner at this. Any help would be really appreciated!
