I'm planning to upgrade my current setup. Some information about what I'm thinking about it so far:
1. Near silent but powerful
2. Good looks is a big plus
Case: With those two in mind I've come up with using the Fractal Design Define R5 as the case. It looks good and is silent, also I will be purchasing the windowed side panel as an extra. The fans for the case I haven't really settled on yet. I have searched a bit about what fans are the best but silent, noctua looks to be the winner. But performance isn't my only factor. The biggest factor is how silent, then the looks for me and the Noctua fans aren't really a looker. As for the colors I'm going for red and black. How silent are the Corsair AF140/120 Quiet Edt.?
PSU: Going to wait for the Corsair RM850i to realse. It's going to have near silent performance during idle and be quiet during load too if I'm not wrong.
GPU: Asus GTX 980 Ti Strix, for that silence once again.
As for the CPU, motherboard and RAM I'm going to wait for skylake to realease in september. I have the parts of my current build that I'm going to use instead.
The PC is mainly for gaming, I do however use it for music and movies alot and would like to eliminate the sound from the PC as much as I can. Hope that I can have it on during the night without it being an issue for me to sleep. (Same room as bed) In addition I have a Swift monitor with G-sync. So AMD is not and option.
I live in Norway.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
