Parts List for ULTIMATE Silent Gaming & Workstation PC Build Guide

This ultimate build guide is all about silence without compromises. It's not the most powerful machine on the block, and perhaps not even the quietest, but it achieves a truly impressive balance of silence to performance!

 


 

I'm going to list out the components as well as provide a source or two for where you can get them  :)

 

I can't tell you where to buy this stuff, but I do lean towards NCIX for the Canadians (and International viewers if their pricing and shipping costs work out for you) because they're my bros, and for Americans, Brits, and a couple other regions, the Amazon links below are affiliate links, so of course every little bit helps  :)

Just remove the power cord and you have ultimate Plus quiet gaming!

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

Looks like it only happens when i changed it to 1080p quality. It's perfect at 480p (who wants to watch it at that quality xD)
