Get a case with sound dampening such as Fractel R5/S/H440/ and replacing that loud cooler for NH-D15 or Dark ROCK 3, i would get NH-D15 as it easier to install.

I know the ram is overkill but I am sick of my programs slowing down because I have too many things open at once. I have experienced 16GB nut that was just not enough. Overkill for the win ;)
