I am very happy with my build, I believe I chose some very good parts especially for my first time.

i5 3570k at 4.6 ghz

Corsair H100i liquid cooler

Corsair vengence 8gb ram 1600 mhz

kingston hyper X 120gb SSD

MSI Z77 G45 motherboard

Corsair HX 850 power supply (I am SUPER happy with this beast power supply)

1 TB seagate barracuda HDD

GTX 660 Ti MSI PE (overclocked) (and yes, I know the 7950 is "better", I just want an nvidia card)

All in an NZXT tempest 410 elite

Boots rediculously fast, runs very cool with my h100i, I can throw anything I have at this power supply and it won't even need to try. Super happy overall.

Other stuff:

Windows 7

Asus 23" monitor

Corsair K90 keyboard

Razer Deathadder 3.5g mouse

My only real question is about fans, If I want to replace the 2 front 120mm fans and the 2 120mm fans on my 100 (which are still a bit loud, even when I set them to under 1000 rpm), what would be some nice quiet fans that will get the job done?

How are your temps for everything at the moment? Are you happy with them?

wouldn't really bother replacing the fans on the H100i as they're from what I understand Corsair SP's without all the special features such as the colored rings. If they're a bit on the noisy side, consider running push pull and undervolting them or turning them down in your fan control software.

As for the front fans, what are you using? The stock and what else?

For the H100 i would use a fan that is designed for pushing the air through an radiator, something like a: http://www.silverstonetek.com/produc...rea=en&pid=258

for the fans in the front i would use a 120 noctuas: http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=produkte&lng=en
