i will build a i7 6700k or i5 6600k pc in the near future and i want u guys to help me find some parts. the parts that i can't see any information about are psu , cpu cooler and case.
I searched all over the internet and everywhere i go the only thing i see for a good psu is some 80+ platinium rated psu that i can't afford, aio water loops for cpu and nothing about cases.
My current rig is getting very old and even after swapping some fans i still find it anoyingly loud.
What i want from these parts is : silence. that being said i won't overclock the cpu too much because i don't have all that much experience.

Summary of my nonsense :
-good psu for the cpus and an amd gpu ( that is silent and doesn't burn my wallet )
-good cpu cooler ( that is silent under normal gaming load )
-good case ( that has cable management and enough fan slots for good airflow )

 

i will buy everything except for the gpu which will be a new 14nm one when they come out until then i will stick to my shitty 280x. i would go with the i7 for gaming because this will bemy pc for the next 6 years or so excepting the gpu which will be changed probably once if newer generations become crazy fast.(so for those of you saying buy i5 better for gamingi have a reason why the i7. ofc u need to factor in the aging of hardware so it will become slower. at least the i7 will be good for 6 or so years as my i7 950 was )

 

my current cpu temp is 70 C and it is pretty much idling ( any cpu cooler will do if its quite as i said )

An i7 950 would age at the same rate any Nehalem i5 would BTW.

 

So, as everybody will say, get an i5, and then you can check out the PSU whitelist in my sig as you didn't give us a budget, location, or a list of hardware.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
