yea maybe but thats areally strict budget like reaally it is equivelent to an nvidia gt 740 it almost isn't worth it

Did you even watch the video? the 250 performs very well and if you want a silent PC and don't have the max every game then it's perfect.

Fairly sure someone else has posted this before, about a week ago or more (about a day after the video was uploaded). 

I recon it's awesome, though having a completely silent PC would not be worth it. And when I say *completely silent*, I mean inaudible. 

Now I want to make a silent gaming PC in PCPP lol.

If you just take the fans out of the R4 than the PC would be inaudible, though those fans are pretty dam quite.

That thing is terribly overpriced and unnecessary a much better silent build would be this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zDysMp

 

The case has one fan mount on which would be mounted a virtually silent fan that still moves a good amount of air, you still need some airflow for passive cooled parts to work. The CPU cooler has enough fin area that you could even overclock the 3258 a bit and still keep temps reasonably low even with the fan removed(which is what I would do in this scenario). The PSU is fanless and there are no mechanical drives, so long as there is no coil whine from the 250 this build would be essentially silent. In fact if your ambient temp is low enough it would be silent as you could run the fan at 600RPM where it basically makes no noise whatsoever.

Was looking for that PSU, but I'd rather the FX100, looks better and would allow for a decent OC without a fan. 

I wasn't determined to make a value oriented build, but instead just make it silent. 

 

Edit:

I'm also in Aus, so without conversion my build looks even more expensive than it should.

The cooler I chose would allow a decent OC as well because it would have the case fan blowing directly on it, the 3258 hardly requires cooling much less some enormous cooler.

Well I wasn't taking the build seriously, as can be seen from the spoiler title. 

I was just making a build that would operate at complete silence, even with overclocking and while gaming.

I saw this video when Jay uploaded it and was kinda impressed, until I realized I have a 7750 (R7 250) folding away at the bottom of my case because why not, and its really nothing to write home about, except that at stock speeds its dead silent and 50C on full load, and draws next to no power. for 720p gaming its a beast. besides the funky fanless cooler, the card in Jays Video is nothing special.

I know, but I've put some serious consideration into this. The only difference to one I would build for myself is the AMD card as I would go for Nvidia for my own PC.
