I'm looking to build a silent performance PC (yea I know those two words don't go together well but I am looking for a good compromise). I'll be fine with an overclock of 4.2 ~ 4.5 Ghz and a slight overclock on GPU.
So here is what I have chosen so far, by no means set in stone, other suggestions are VERY welcome (Btw, might wait for ivy bridge, so cpu can be ignored, kind of). Just wanted to see what you found of these choices (minor things like extra fans and thermal paste not included):
Case:
Fractal Design R3 (plenty of holes for fans + pretty quiet)
Motherboard:
ASUS TUF Sabertooth P67 Rev. 3.0
CPU:
Core i7-2700k + Corsair H80 Water cooling
GPU:
GTX 680 + Arctic Accelero Xtreme Plus II aftermarket cooler
PSU:
CORSAIR AX750
RAM:
DDR3 8GB 1600Mhz Corsair Vengeance
Storage:
Corsair Force GT 120GB + Velociraptor 600GB
