Hi,

So recently I have posted a lot of builds I have put together requesting feedback, the responses I have received are amazing thanks everyone :)

> i5 4460
> MSI H97-Gaming 3
> ASUS GTX 970 Strix 4GB
> ASUS PG278Q Swift 27Inch 144Hz G-Sync Monitor
> Be Quiet! Silent Base 800 Case
> Corsair Vengeance CML 16GX3M2A1600C9 16gb (2x8GB) DDR3
> Be Quiet! L8 500W
> Be Quiet! Pure Rock CPU Cooler
> WD Green 2TB
> Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD

Just have a few questions :)

1. Is the WD Blue much louder than WD Green? Is the Blue the better option?
2. Are there any obvious compaitability issues i've missed?
3. Does the power supply make a lot of noise or is it worth investing in a more popular/safer 500W supply with 80+ Bronze etc..
4. Is 500W enough?
5. Anything I should know before purchasing? Like special cables/adapters I will need?
5. Lastly, am I all set to game at 1440P with a 970? :p

Thanks heaps :)
