Quiet and Cool PC build advice
Posted: Thu Feb 19, 2015 6:54 pm
Been browsing the forum, since I'm looking to put together a new pc. Goals for this pc to be quiet and cool. Current computer is loud, and is also is like a heater in the summer. Been tolerating it for a while now but I don't want to be sweating this summer... Thus I came across this forum which looks helpful.
Need to support 3+ monitors. Main uses are regular browsing, tv/movies/music, and software development.
Here's what I'm considering so far:
Case: Fractal Design Define R5 FD-CA-DEF-R5-BK-W Black Computer Case
Motherboard: ASUS Z97-A LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
PSU: Seasonic SS-660XP2 ATX 12V/EPS 12V, 660W
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 3.5GHz LGA 1150
Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Storage: Haven't decided yet.
Anything else I should consider?
