Building a semi-compact video editing workstation PC, looking for feedback.

I would like it to be as quiet as possible. I haven't included fans on the part list because I'm not 100% decided on the case, but will probably go with Gelid, Noctua, or Nexus fans.

Any suggestions or feedback welcome, especially on a better CPU cooler and the Video Card.

Trying to keep the noise level down. I've used Corsair H80, H100, and H100i in the past and the pumps made too much noise.

It's a sponsored build... budget isn't a primary consideration.

Thanks for the suggestions. Why the Noctua NH-U14S? Do you think it's the best choice for quiet cooling on this setup?

I love the Enthoo Pro, but for this build I need something slightly smaller. Any other mid-tower suggestions?

Why the X99-A over X99 Sabertooth? This rig is going to be on 24/7 and working much of that time, I like the stability of the Sabertooth.

Thanks for the input.

Nu14s is fine for a 5820k.

Sabertooth vs
x99-a in terms of reliability and durability is minimal in my opinion. I doubt either one will die because you run it 24/7. Have you looked at the h440? or try a 400r. If those don't work, probably try the define r4.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Just saw the Define R5, looks really good. I think that will be the case that works best.
