I plan to build a gaming PC in late December or early January. I have pretty much figured out the components that I will use. In the near term, I don't have any plans to overclock. When I go to college, this will also function as my home theater PC and stereo. These are the parts that I have selected (please note that I may add an additional hard drive down the road):
CPU Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core $219.98
CPU Cooler Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing $29.99
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H ATX LGA1150 $124.98
Memory Mushkin Blackline 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 $89.99
Storage Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" SSD $209.99
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM $84.99
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM $84.99
Video Card Asus GeForce GTX 770 2GB $329.99
Sound Card Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD $149.99
Wireless Network Adapter TP-Link TL-WDN4800 802.11a/b/g/n PCI-Express x1 $39.99
Case Corsair 500R White ATX Mid Tower $109.99
Power Supply Antec 620W ATX12V / EPS12V $64.99
Optical Drive Asus BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer $58.99
In another thread, I was told that the fans that come with the case should be capable of handling the heat generated from these components. My only concern will be how noisy the fans will be. If I find the case fans are too noisy, what brand of fans do you recommend that I purchase that match or exceed the capabilities of the case fans, but are of the same sizes and dimensions and quieter? Also, how will I know if I need to purchase additional cooling fans? Thanks.
