Silent $600 PC?

[cheeze_tartz]

Just wondering if this is a good build for a relatively silent PC for $600 (Windows 8.1 for an extra $100). I know i can get better performance when i sacrifice some things but I'd spend an extra ~$100 for silence. Also, the reason why the Ram and Motherboard is $0 is because the CPU, Mobo, and Ram come in a bundle for a cheaper price. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/jJcHD3

have you already baugh that CPU? 

if not then you could go for a much lower wattage proc and go fanless on the CPU.

that i3 and that 290 brah...

[cheeze_tartz]

have you already baugh that CPU? 

if not then you could go for a much lower wattage proc and go fanless on the CPU.

Well i play some games too. Payday 2, World of Tanks, Planetside 2, Titanfall, and GTA V. Could I go fanless? I am going to OC to around 4.5 Ghz

[mosin40]

that i3 and that 290 brah...

Yeah i know, he can upgrade later

Unless he wants a 960 or a 280x

you dint answer my question so i'll assume no. xP

 

yes, with a higher end part like a i5-4690s (i think thats the part number) the s series on ix parts are lower wattage. (that one in paticular is 65 watts)

with a 6300 you're already up to 90~ watts and will need an over clock pretty much, so we could go with something like a high end i3 (usually under 60~ watts)

true, true.  

[cheeze_tartz]

I was thinking 960, since it has a fanless mode on idle, or light load.

what you think about http://pcpartpicker.com/p/bF7Rbv???

also one i made probs a week ago i think.

(i know the fans on that cooler are really loud, i plan on putting a single noctua inbetween the towers on that cooler)

No, i don't have the FX-6300 purchased. Well I am a little bit on a budget, and i wouldn't mind putting a quiet fan on the heatsink.

1st option looks descent.

Payday 2, WOT and PS2 will benefit from having a PC with stronger individual cores (Intel).

This build is silent over performance (0db all over the build)

Just keep one fan as intake and everything else as passive exhaust

You won't get good performance but silent as if it's not running

Chose that r7 250 as it's fanless

[BurgerBum]

why thankyou.  

 

second one is one of my builds im -wanting- *-*

Payday 2, WOT and PS2 will benefit from having a PC with stronger individual cores (Intel). 

not intel, a roduct form intel. 

dont wanna sound like an elitist.

Will GTA V still be able to run good with the i3?

Yep

Consider this fanless (again) gpu in the build I made before (just 30$ more)

I'm not looking for complete silence, just quiet. That build is good for complete silence, but I wouldn't spend ~$100 on a fanless PSU!

This is your best bet if a slight bit of noise under load isn't the end of the world. Both the GPU and power supply have fans that don't spin until they're under heavy load, and with a custom fan curve, 212 EVOs can actually stay damn quiet.
