Re: Planning a new system build

Update after a week with my new buddy: it's almost effectively silent as the fans barely spin up even under stress test. I say almost because, unfortunately, now I can distinctly hear my hard drive spinning: it sounds like a fairly silent fan, but it's definitely the noisier component even if I have...

Re: Planning a new system build

It hasn't been an easy choice but I went with the E10. I wouldn't like, when buying dedicated graphics, to find a turbine in the house while gaming... life is made of compromises :)
Anyway I placed my order, many thanks to all of you guys! I'll leave a feedback when everything is built ;)

Re: Planning a new system build

Nice input QUIET! Maybe not this time, but I'll keep that in mind for future projects ;) One last question, how would you compare the Be Quiet! Straight Power 10 500W and the EVGA SuperNOVA G2 550w noise wise (when the fan starts spinning). I am a bit wary of semi fanless psu, as when the fan isn't ...

Re: Planning a new system build

I think I won't save on the psu, then, thanks As for the Ninja 4 I also found it on a german site (mindfactory, where I'm doing most of my shopping) at 44 euro, but they don't have the kotetsu, so I would buy it from amazon at the same price. Looking for it in another site would probably cost me abo...

Re: Planning a new system build

Hi guys! So I'm finalizing my new rig (as now I have the time to build it) but, unfortunately, I came across some unexpected expenses this month so I could be ditching the discrete graphics. I can probably live without for some time, then I'll see. In the hope that in a couple years graphics card's ...

Re: Planning a new system build

Unfortunately there's nothing quieter with less power (and cable management). That was my thought. I could get the 400W and save some bucks, but it's not modular and possibly the fan would spin faster at my config's high load Not saying you should avoid getting a graphics card - just saying the int...

Re: Planning a new system build

Thank you very much for your fast reply, Steve, you solved my doubts and made very good points! I know I could do with less fancy graphics but even as a casual gamer I'd like to get a decent experience on new titles, given that I had to renounce playing a lot of games due to my poor old integrated g...

Planning a new system build

Hello, long time lurker, fist time poster here! In the next months I'm going to build a new pc for general purpose plus random gaming and I'd like it to be almost inaudible at low workloads such as browsing and watching movies. So... I was thinking about something like the following (I live in Italy...
