-BLACK FRIDAY SALE- $800 budget

[PRML]

Hey guys, it's that time of the year again.

I need to upgrade my current build of 4 years to something faster and quieter.
My ideal budget is $800 (taxes, s&h incl.)
I am looking for the following:

1) A quiet system
2) Quad core CPU
3) 8GB of RAM


This is what I found http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7431661&sku=B69-1477

This will be the 1st time I attempt at assembling a liquid cooled PC. Any ideas? Am I headed in the right track?

anything that is not custom watercooling is crap

the power supply is also crap

one more thing is how quiet do you want it to be? i can throw a little more cash and make it even quieter. up to you

-take out OS and optical if you dont need it.
-take out the SSD if you need to save money.

-Just out of curiosity why would I need a SSD?
-With the parts that are listed on your link, would my system be quieter/cooler than if it included liquid cooling?
-Can I include liquid cooling with the parts that you picked out for me? (The mobo is the same)

SSDs make your system wayyyy faster than it would ever be just on a hard drive

-no. it would get louder due to crappy stock fans

-yes but i wouldnt use cheapo watercooling. the h60 performs worse than a hyper 212 from what i hear

best way to get silence is to get a noctua heatsink. i can suggest one if you want to spend the money for it. its 60 bucks but the included fans alone cost 40
