Hi guys. So i'm thinking about putting together my first pc and im trying to go for a pretty quiet build. I saw EVGA's 980 ti hybrid which seems really cool. Alot of you probably wanna say there are alot of better cooling solutions but for a noob like me, this seems to do the job just fine. I'm not really an overclocker but will surely try a little with this pc. So the gpu has the built in fan to put in the back, but this is also where the cpu cooling fan go, atleast if you got those all in one kits im looking at. So can i have both and put the fan somewhere else. Also, if i watercool both the cpu and gpu how much airflow do i need? I was thinking of buying a NZXT h440 or the fractal design r5.

So the build im trying to go with is.

MSI z97 gaming 5
i7-4790k
GTX 980 ti (hybrid preferably)
16 gb ram ddr3
1xssd 1xhdd
evga supernova g2 750w
and one of those cases.

Does this sound good?

Thanks.

Don't really have a budget. I've looked around, it's gonna be really expensive either way (not from the US). Mostly gonna fund this by selling my old pc and then save from work for 1 or 2 months or pay the rest off monthly. But ofcourse i'd like to pay less but im pretty set on the 980 ti and 4790k. There is no reason to go for a cheaper gpu/cpu because then i wouldnt bother upgrading. I have a 3820 and the original titan at the moment.

And the H440 obviously looks better to me so thats why i'm hesitating. Don't like the look of the R5 at all but it has room for an optical drive and seems to have better airflow from the front.
