Thanks for all your answers! I chose to go with a single Noctua Chromax in the back and 2x 140 mm Be Quiets in the front. Chromax provides some sleek looks and Silent Wings were easy to find for me

Opinions on Dark Rock Pro 4 and 2x 140 mm Be quiet! Silent Wings 3 PWM fans on front, 2x same fans on top and one 120 mm Be quiet! on the back mounted in a Meshify c. Is it overkill if I want a system that is as quiet as possible without using any foam?

Do you have experience with Ryzen processors? Do they perform and stay cool enough without using the highest RPM on the fans? I have always owned an Intel... But while seeing so much positive feedback and articles I'm starting to doubt if Intel is worth it anymore...

Thanks for the replies! I hope it doesn't seem like I'm just turning my back on all the advice as I am definitely being critical and careful. Everything written here gives me food for thought : D

Haha, I'm from Finland. And thanks for a build idea. To update: I think I'll try to build an AMD system. NZXT H500 is a decent looking case but it lacks imagination in my opinion. I will definitely look into those Trident Zs... I've not seen them before. AM4 socket probably supports the later...

Thanks for the reply! You made some good points that also came across my mind. I know how the CPU affects game performance and that is also a reason for upgrading. I simply don't need the 4790K and feel like the 6 cores and more threads would come in handy more. So, according to these replies I...

My reason to upgrade is not the lack of performance or computing power. I want a clean slate, you could say. And really just build a PC again. This time focusing on the looks and quality rather than the beef. I'm looking for a motherboard, RAM and a CPU cooler and at this point it doesn't matter...

Yeah... I would go with a custom loop but my budget and nerves are not enough haha... Btw, I have another thread going and if you like planning PCs, there's a challenge for you :p

I plan on upgrading my PC and I'm drowning in the endless sea of part choices... My current build: Asus z97-A Intel Core i7-4790K (I have noticed I'm not into overclocking) G.skill Ripjaws 2x8GB running at 1600 mhz Corsair h110i GT (Pump is coughing) MSI GTX Gaming 4G 980 EVGA 650W PSU My...

And my current one is having some pump problems it seems... Anyways, thanks for your opinion! :p

Yeah... after giving it some thought, it would feel really weird to buy new parts since these parts were the "hot stuff" a few years ago... I have decided to buy a new case with a new water cooling solution (Corsair h150i) and that should be enough to make my life a little more quiet

Hello hello... So, I am thinking of upgrading my system to be more customisable futurewise. By that I mainly mean changing my mobo, RAM and CPU to more modern ones. My PC is for gaming purposes but I do like processing power also, just to be sure. This is somewhat my PC now...
