Stock Intel coolers are really bad. I'd change it for a tower cooler, as long it can fit in your case.

MSI are not the best when it comes to AMD GPUs the best one I can recommend is from Sapphire. 

Also, I'd change the case fans.

Hello,
I'm wondering why my PC makes so much noise. If I have all the settings on ultra 1080p, it just seems as if I'm sitting next to a plane. How do I fix it? Which part of my PC makes so much noise? What should I replace?

HOW CAN I MAKE IT QUIETER?!

CPU: i5 6400

Fan noise? Coil whine?
I guess it's the PSU or HDD.

Stop playing that flight simulator.

Turn down the volume on your speakers.

Problem solved.

 

Seriously, check the temps of your computer. They might be overheating. If not, set some profile to "silent".

Hallo,

 

I checked the temps on my computer with MSI afterburner. The temps are OK. I have the GPU and Intel cooler both on the ''silent'' setting. I already did this weeks ago, but I can't notice a difference...

I know this is a known problem for the RX 480, but the PSU also makes lots of noise.

Thanks Abdul, but I don't really want to change my GPU. But I will change the CPU cooler to a Be quiet pure rock. And I think I replace the fans for Be quiet! Pure wings 2. Thanks for you reply.

Well, you can upgrade in the future. :P 

 

Also, make sure that the CPU cooler you're getting fits in your case.

Thanks I already checked it. It's a big cpu cooler, but it fits in this mATX case. (I checked it on Fractal designs website)

Coil whine is ubiquitous. anywhere there is an inductor is a potential source for vibration. That is what the white goopy looking white adheasive stuff on computer components is for, to help dampen inductor vibration.

 

but it sounds like what you are hearing is fan noise, not electrical noise...

well if it's coil whine, no not really. you can try to quiet it down with electronics epoxy, but the good stuff is rather expensive and you have to know exactly where the noise is coming from and make sure applying the schmoo isn't going to cause a heat related failure. I'd just RMA the thing if it came down to it. Others just deal with it. i know with the sound in game that i barely notice it.

First identify the source of the noise by stopping fans with your hands.

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

I don't think that would be nessessary. Fractal's OEM fans are pretty good. Besides, fans can be controlled.

I know. The core 1500 case has a built-in fan controller.

It is coming from my GPU. While under load, this thing is really loud!

You can adjust GPU fan with MSI Afterburner, EVGA Precision or the other software like that. And I meant you can use mobo to control caase fans.

I already tried using MSI Afterburner, but the problem is: if I turn the fan speed down, the temps are getting around 85 degrees celcius (while gaming). Any higher fan speeds are very loud and not comfortable to game with.

That would mean that cooling for the card isn't enough. Or that case overall cooling doesn't work. So its back to what @Abdul201588 suggested.

In that case, better or more case fans can help.

What's your budget?

I don't really have a budget. I think I need another 120mm intake fan (Fractal design R3). It's around 15 euros.
