Not really. As most of those parts are out of reach when in the 2000 dollar range, especially when you start to look at the fact that OP only has about 1500 after the monitor he wants.

Maybe grab some Noctua's or Gentle Typhoons later, but otherwise, you'll be off to the races. Also the USB Wifi-adapter is optional-ish. Up to you. I always include one.

Not that great tbh

 

-Don't need i7 for gaming

-More expensive mobo then you need

-Overpriced RAM

-Can get a better SSD for cheaper

-Way overpriced 2TB HDD

-550W Corsair RM is only a mediocre PSU and for $100 is purely throwing money out the window

This is good, but I'd get a bequiet! over the Cryorig. I have an R1, and I love it, but it is not as quiet as the DRP3. Performs better, but if silence is your main concern, then the Dark Rock is the one to go with. The Phanteks wouldn't be bad either. 

 

Bit of a change. Kept it pretty similar to yours. I like black and red scheme you have going on  :P

Just a small note, now is not a really good time to buy the DRP3. I've seen it go for $70.

AIO coolers are not quiet. Pumps are loud. Go air cooler if you want silence.

 

You could also go 5400rpm hard drive, if you are a really big stickler for silence. Or even all flash storage. that way you have no platters or read heads moving around in your rig creating noise. I think that WD blue would be fine though

 

As for the SSD, you can have twice the storage for $12 more. I'm also not too sure about that Silicon Motion controller in the Corsair.. Get the M500.

 

Is that a reference 970? Not sure how quiet blower style coolers are compared to aftermarket ones like the TwinFrozr and Strix.

 

Dont go with that Corsair PSU. 80+ titanium is really overpriced, especially Corsair's. Serisouly, there are 1000w 80+ gold units that are cheaper than that.. 

 

If you add an optical drive, just know that that means more noise in your system.

I see you're a fan of Corsair. Sorry to tell you this, but they make nothing competitive for the price. H55, Vengeance Pro, Force LX, AX PSUs, they're all a waste of money for what you get. Notice how there's none of them in my build or AlexStrizenec's build as we actually chose parts that give you as much as you can get for the money.

I know this is abut close to the limit , i chose the h440 as i feel that it is a VERY SILENT case  , also cuz its black n red , as u watched from linus' video , the be quiet dark rock 3 is an excellent air cooler that is silent n effective , i chose the 2 gtx 970 from msi as they run pretty quiet n they also match the black n red theme , i also chose the seasonic 600w psu as it gives u some lee way if u wanna upgrade ur stuff oneday , I chose this HDD as it runs at a lower RPM so it would be quieter .
