If you're on the stock cooler, DEFINITELY go with replacing the cooler first. That is likely your loudest part if everything's set up right.

From what I've heard the Hadron's PSU fan is also very loud.

Put on a CPU cooler and some case fans. bequiet is also a good brand to looks out for when shopping for silent air cooling components.

 

That's all I'd to for now. if the PC is still too loud then, try determining the sources of noise by stopping fans with your hand etc. Some more expensive steps that you can take is switching to a semi-passive PSU or getting rid of your hard drives alltogether and rely on SSDs only. - something that makes a huge difference, i can tell ya! :D

who cares...

This is why I decided against the case, I ended up going with the Silverstone RVZ01 because even though the SFX power supplies are still not amazing, I can upgrade it with new versions.

SFX PSUs aren't that quiet but from what I've heard the new SFX-L PSUs are hugely improved in that regard.
