Hello,

I am going to be building a gaming PC and I want to make it as quiet as possible. Will my current build be quiet? If not, what adjustments should I make? The main things I'm wondering about here are if my case has good enough airflow and what case fans I should purchase. Here is the build-to-be:

CPU: i5 4670k
Motherboard: Asus Z87 Pro
GPU: Evga Gtx 770 Superclocked w/Acx Cooling
CPU Cooler: Corsair H80i
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4gb)
Storage: Samsung 840 Pro 128 GB SSD
PSU: Corsair Enthusiast 650w
Case: NZXT Phantom 410

Thanks!

Hey, Since you chose to use H80I there should be no noise problems, altought if you are looking for a good silent case with good airflow, get Fractal Design R4 instead.

Also in R4 I would reccomend to remove the top HDD cage and move bottom front fan to higher slot as it will increase the airflow.

One more thing I will add is to make sure you will keep your cable management decent :)

WARNIGN WARNING Will Robinson: You list ONLY a 128GB SSD for this rig - NOT GOOD!
1) 128GB is nothing these days with Windows and Office alone taking up 25GB just to 'type a letter'. Add in games and your be maxed out before you knew it (looks at my poor new TB filled with over 500GB of games just from Steam!).
2) A SSD has a low read/write lifespan. So unless you first then constantly afterwards manually remap temp directories, your MY Dosuments, My videos, etc. to a secondary HDD drive, you will wear out the SSD quite fast in comparison. Further NO GAME ACHIEVES fast load times on SSD, only the OS and large programs like AutoDesk or DreamWeaver. Always install the games on a secondary HDD, never on the SSD.
