Alright, so I have a friend who wants to do an upgrade, and long story short, he cannot post on the forums. So I am for him.

 

This is his current build - https://pcpartpicker.com/p/jvrWf7

 

This is my proposed upgrade - http://pcpartpicker.com/p/sjnQcf

 

He wants an upgrade to ATX, SILENCE (Huge factor, as he got a semi-bad stock cooler that gets stupid loud under load), and a Motherboard with an actual proper UEFI, Heatsinks and OC capability without having to use liquid nitrogen (his current motherboard, as you can see from the link, suffers from all of these).

 

What changes would you make, and can the cooler that I chose have its fan speed controled within the BiOS? He would like to keep it all under $200 if possible, but $230 is his max.

get an 990fxa-ud3.

get an ssd.

get good fans.

$200. The Fractal Core 1000 is mATX, So that would be, good fans, case, mobo, and 120GB SSD = 250-300 Depending on which brands. Thats just a little over budget... Plus, he really likes the look of the R4.
