I'm working on a new build, and this is what I got so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mrGhTW
Only problem I'm facing right now is that I need to find a case that suits that build, but that ain't really the big issue. Finding PC hardware where I live is really difficult, so having some alternatives would be better for me. It would also be nice to have something silent, and if possible, with a window (I just love cases with thoses).
This is my first build, so any feedback I get will be highly appreciated, and I'm really counting on it. Thank you for your time.
 
Why would you buy all those fans? Buy a corsair case and they will come with them lol. If you are looking for quiet then check out the Fractal R4. Very highly rated. Just depends if you like the look.

Otherwise a solid build, Although I don't lie the WD black HDD because they cost a lot. Check out a hybrid Drive. Much faster and cost about the same.

Example is this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178380&cm_re=hybrid_drive-_-22-178-380-_-Product

This one model has bad reviews, but their 1 tb and 4tb versions are good for some reason.


Update: 4 tb version is only $150 when you use that coupon code.

I suggest an NZXT Phantom 410 in whatever color you want. It has a window. The only things would be that you may have to remove the hard drive bay, and all the fans you currently have wouldn't fit. That is a mid tower. A full tower is much bigger than that, but if you wanted it I would suggest the NZXT Phantom and buy the side panel with a window.
 

I really liked the Fractal R4, but I have a few questions. First off, what about the fans? The guy that helped me with the build put up all of those, but I don't really know if I'll need them. Second, how's wiring on that? It's my first build, so how do you think I'll do setting up all that stuff? It can't be that hard, right? And do you think that the build will fit nicely in that? I may do some upgrades on the future, so I gotta have that in mind.

About the NZXT Phanton 410, I also liked it a lot, but I don't know how the build would fit in that either, some more info on it would be nice.

Btw, I don't feel like changing the storage, because I think what I've chose will suit me enough, but thanks anyways.

So, what would you guys reccomend for me?
 
Hi Daniel,

Help us out a big more with your goals for the build. Are you intending to overclock? What sort of software do you want to use? What are your expectations?

I understand that you want something quiet, but based on that alone, I'm not seeing a very good build for that goal. AIOCLC's should be avoided for that.
 


The goal for this build will be almost exclusively for gaming, and if possible, max out the current and some future games. If needed, I may overclock, depending on the risks of that. I still don't know much about software, but I'll use the one that'll suit me better for gaming.

Something silent isn't really needed, but it would be nice to have. I mean, if there's a case that suits the build and also doesn't make too much noise, that's perfect, if not, I'll take what I can find.
 
If you like the looks for the case get it. Very highly rated. built 3 computers with it. The wire management is superb and the case is quiet. It comes with sound dampening material on the case. You don't need the fans in my opinion. The fractal r4 comes with enough fans. I would put the computer together first and then decide if you need it later. The fans are probably a tiny bit quieter but is it really worth $18 each? lol.

The NZXT is also good. Id pick the one you like more to look at.
