The H440 is a silent case to begin with.

 

But it mostly ends up with the fans, loud fans on high RPM will be loud and silent fans on lower will be shhhh.

If you want silence I recommend getting some noctua fans to replace the ones that come with the case and CPU cooler!

It would be pretty silent, the GPU turns its fans off when idling or browsing the web, etc. 

But I strongly suggest you to not get that PSU.

This is the same build with an EVGA G3, a very, very good PSU from a reliable brand.

corsair white label CXM is actually pretty well within acceptable bounds, its the green label ones to avoid like the plague.

g3 is extra $10 so why tf not

well.. its $10 that will in the end not really make a difference at all...

 

i guess in the end it comes down to preference, because the white label CXM's still look cheap, but evga never fails to make their power supplies look hideous...

both are good enough to the point quality doesnt really matter, evga's "warranty" is non-existant in europe (look at OP's location), and i'm pretty sure i know exactly what fan is under the hood of the corsair CXM's, and you pretty much cant hear them either way over the rest of your system, certainly when there's also a watercooler pump purring about.

in europe, corsair over evga any day, just because of how damn rare evga products are here, and their greatly sub-par warranty. everything good you hear about evga in the states is related to their warranty, which is in all honesty unbeatable, but there's actually some retailers in europe that refuse to work with evga because of their lacking product support over here.

in EU corsair is actually very competitively priced in a lot of cases, to the point where corsair power supplies that to an american "dont make sense because of the price" are often cheaper than their evga counterparts here, as well as those damn sexy grills they put on their RM and up series o.O

meanwhile while CXM is competitive I use S12II instead if I can fit it in since it's such a nice PSU
