Silent, small and [powerful] is it possible?
Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2014 9:30 am
Hello!
I am in the process of creating a new computer. It will be used in my work that is poker and for computer games.
Would love to be able to play the latest games at the highest settings possible. However you can not always get what you want.
I am using a Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP with resolution 2560x1600 daily, I will later buy a 27". But I am not sure if I will use them at the same time.
I would appreciate all the help I can get, it has been a long time since I built a computer.
What I want is a small, silent and powerfull computer.
I plan to use the following components:
CPU: Intel Core i7 4770K 3.5GHz Socket 1150 Box
CPU Cooler: Hear I need some advice in what to pick!
Motherboard: Gigabyte G1.Sniper M5 (I am not sure if this is for me)
Memory: Hear I need some advice in what to pick!
SSD : Need advice around 500 gb , prefer it a bit more stable in exchange for top speed
Storage: Need advice at least 1tb
Video Card :GeForce GTX 780 or GeForce GTX 780 Ti ( the best and the most silent cooler will decide this)
Power: Hear I need some advice in what to pick (Have a Zalman ZM1000 - HP 1000W laying around , it might fit ?)
Case: I am not sure what to pick,
I want the case as small as possible so here is a short list of some cases that I have found:
Silverstone
SST-SG08-LITEB
222 mm (W) x 190 mm (H) x 351 mm (D), 14.8 liters

PS09
170mm (W) x 359.8mm (H) x 406.6mm (D), 24.87 liters

FT03-MINI
188.9mm(W)x 397mm(H)x235.1mm(D), 17.6 liters

I also consider the Temjin TJ08B-E but its not as pretty as the rest.

If a fan is to noisy on the case I will exchange this.
Cooling: I plan to exchange and buy new coolers for the GPU and the CPU. But I don´t know what to pick!?
I don´t know if watercooling is the best choice or if regular cooling or some combinations is the best?
So please advice me of what is the best and the most silenced cooler out there.
I am not sure if its even possible to create a computer with such small cases but I hope there is coolers quiet enough to fit.
Some extra info:
Is it even possible to consider Sli in such a small case?
I problably want to update my graphic card in a few years , is it possible with the motherboard?
I am planning to dress the inside of the case with sounddampening material of some sort (suggestions)
So every little detail to make this computer silent, I want to know what to do.
My budget is big, but still I am not going to pay 400 dollars extra for a 10% increase in this and that.
Whew! It was probably all, I hope!
I always search for months for the most powerful and quietest components!
Followed by a mental and physical breakdown, I am hoping to take a shortcut, while crying blood as I open yet another tab to read.
By asking the pros!
Thanks in advance!
