-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

so far this is what I have in mind, please suggest if you know of a more quiet alternative:

1) Intel CPU 3820 (3930 is too expensive)
2) Asus P9X79 WS Motherboard (Need the firewire port for audio interface)
3) Gigabyte GTX 660ti 2GB OC (or 3GB) Video Card (for adobe premiere)
4) GSkill Ripjaws Z 1600 Ram 32GB (4x8GB) Quad
5) OCZ Vertex 4 SSD 256GB Hard Drive (or OCZ Vector)
6) Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 CPU Fan (running on Minimum fan setting)
7) Corsair AX850 Gold 80+ Power Supply
8) Corsair 550D Quiet Casing

and

9) Still ooking for a Quiet 3TB 7200rpm Hard drive (for my video files)

*Note: I might be able to get an old Intel SSD 80GB from my friend (free) to act as an SSD cache (if it helps)
I also have a 2TB WD Green 5400 HD for my normal documents (word/excel/etc)
