but is this build quiet?

if you want the build to be quiet, get some sound foam padding in your computer and on your rooms walls. Also, does the case come with fans? If so, get some and make sure there a quiet version. Get a keyboard at has cherry mx browns or reds

You can also get a case that is dampens sound like the define R5.

 

If this is for gaming alone, an i5 is the sweet spot for that, 8 gb is also the case with RAM

The way you check for cooler compatibility is check the CPU socket type (I know that the 4790 is a LGA 1150) so go to the product's site and make sure the socket compatibility is the same as the 4790 

Follow the topics you create using the "Follow" button in the top right corner!

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!
