[Frankenstein590]

Hi I just recently bought this computer, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0089KDCIU/ref=oh_details_o04_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, and it turns out that it is actually very loud

can someone tell me how I can make it quieter, what do I need specifically.

Most likely the fans right? Swap them for quieter ones like Noctua NF-F12 or Corsair AF120 Quiet Edition.

^+1 Replace the loud parts (usually fans) with quieter parts.

If they fit. What size fans does your case support? 120mm? 140mm?

Do some research at spcr http://www.silentpcreview.com/
Noise comes primarily from small fans running at high rpm's.

You can reduce the rpm of existing fans. Something like a zalman fanmate is inexpensive.

Use a paper tube to your ear to try to locate the noisiest offenders.

If the noise increases under load, your cpu cooler is usually at fault. Replacing the cooler with a $30 cooler like a cm hyper212 will fix that.
