Silent PC Gaming Rig

I'd suggest getting some after-market fans if you want silence. I use Prolimatech's, since they're very low profile, push tons of air, and I haven't heard one so much as whisper. However, be prepared for the storm of Noctua recommendations. Their fans are freakin' awesome as well.

I really wish that we'd just make organic hardware already, that grows and adapts to the demands it needs to meet. That way, grannies' computers can be floppy sacks of organicness and the 12 year old Minecrafters will look like the guys that only do bicep curls, and the nerdy programmers will finally have justice, with their body-builder rigs that skipped leg day.

I want it to be very silent, I think all my parts are fine. I don't know if the ram has enough cleaerance. I know the ram can be 36mm, but cant find how tall the ram is. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nKBkgs

This rig won't be very quiet (no such things as a silent rig). Here are some recommendations. Aftermarket fans, Noctua's. The ACX version of the 780. Noctua NH-U14S. The ram won't fit if it has to be <36mm. Kingston Fury X or G Skill Ares will if it has to be <36mm. Save on the mobo and get the Gaming 5.

All I want is to get it as silent as possible, I know I can't get it silent to 0dba

good build, but nothing there that makes it very silent, the cpu fan does the complete opposite

This type of gtx 780 is alot more silent and cools better.

K. Well the recommendations I gave you will help you get there providing you're willing to spend for it :P.

I dont like the color of noctua fans. Can you suggest other fans that look better but deliver good performance. In my new link I got other fans. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mCzQf7

Sorry to break the news to you but Corsair Pro Ram is like 5cm tall and the whole setup won't be 'very silent' (or atleast not what I call 'very silent' ) 

 

 

Corsair Vengeance Pro is about 44mm, but I don't know the maximum height of RAM for that heatsink.

The cpu fan cooler is less than 30dba I think that is amazing. Look at the memory now do you think it will fit?
