Hello, i am currently building my gaming pc at the moment and i need to keep it quiet and cool, you see the problem is i use my computer a lot at night, i am normally the only one awake, and i need to keep my computer cool, obviously this isnt the only reason i want to keep it cool. I have the NZXT Vulcan case and to keep it cool i dont know if i should throw a tone of case fans in there, it will maximize pc cooling and air flow but will it make my pc louder, also i need to good both my cpu and gpu, as they are running all the time..but i'm not a huge fan of water cooling, i've always thought that it will leak or break and everything will be f****d, so i will rather go with a cpu cooler, but if i need to go with water cooling..i will have to live with it. I was wondering if any of you knew what coolers i should get and the best ways to keep my pc silent. In the future i am wanting to do a bit of overcloaking, i have the FX 4300 running at 3.8ghz and i will probably overclock it to 4.2ghz, i dont want to break the bank when getting these improvement but i would like to keep the pricing low. If anyone has any good suggestions, i would love to hear them, and they will be highly appreciated :3
 
Phanteks PH-TC14-PE is a great cooler .... and extremely quiet ...runs about $75C....Thermalright Silver Arrow and Noctua DH-14 run neck and neck.

But your case is kinda thin....may have trouble fitting any of the better air coolers.

Id start with adding the optional fan and see how things run....you may find ya don't need anything beyond that
