Hello all, I made a post yesterday asking for a build. Sure enough, the community on Tom's came through with a few great configurations. I chose the one I thought would suit my needs the best, and now I'd like to run it by the forums to get the largest range of advice. My gaming will include games like ESO, Battlefront, BF4, Arma 3, various AAA games. I'm after 60 fps/1080p/high-ultra and the most silent idle and gaming performance that can be achieved in my price range. I'm especially wondering whether there is a need to get the i5-4690, 4690K, and the MSI 970 for the quiet factor.
