Hi, I've been a prominent 'user' on the forum for a while, and you guys give great advice. Only just made an account though, just so I can get a really specific answer.
So I'm building a computer, and these are the parts I'm certain about getting so far-
Intel Core i7-4770K Socket 1150 Haswell Processor
MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming Intel Z87 Socket 1150 Motherboard
MSI GTX 780 Twin Frozr Gaming 3GB Nvidia Graphics Card
Now the things I don't know a lot about are cases and fans. I know I want air cooling (after reading a bunch of reviews about how much maintenance water cooling is, I got deterred), and money isn't really an issue, I'd just like something that -
A) Looks nice
B) Will allow me to overclock (not going crazy, I read some stuff about Haswell's deteriorating quite quickly)
C) Will be dead silent. My current gaming computer (I bought from Vibox about a year ago) is so painfully loud, imagine a hair dryer in your ear for hours on end.
D) Will last a long time. I don't want to in a year or 2 have to replace parts, or my computer to lack performance because of something.
E) It must be a full size case.
Oh, one last thing as well; the power supply.
Again, price isn't too much of an issue. I would just like something that will last a long time, and won't make my mum complain about £200 electricity bills at the end of the month!
Any criticisms on current set up welcome! I'm new to this so all the advice I can get is great.
Thanks guys!
