Hi, I'm about to build my first gaming pc, but I want something that isnt too loud. Could
Parts list:

i5-8600k
Corsair H115i pro
ASUS Z370-E
16gb ddr4-3000
Inno3D GeForce GTX 1080 iChill X4
500gb SSD
1TB 7200rpm HDD

I'm not sure which case to get or how many watts in my PSU. Like I said I want something not too loud, and some RGB would be nice.

Thanks,
 


try the 'Outervison PSU calculator' to see how many watts the system will need and buy a bronze unit(minimum) of a good psu maker like seasonic, antec,corsair(or any other depending on the availability in your country).you don't necessarily have to go with the sites recommended PSU. You can check psu reviews on jonnyguru, hardware secrets and guru3d. get a bronze unit minimum with good capacitors and cooling. in psu.

For a case you can go for a full tower or a mid tower which has dust filters and enough space for gpu without any cutting or chopping. Make sure it supports upto 4 fans for =ve airflow.

There are many things wrong with that. Firstly, that outervision calculator can be very inaccurate and almost always overestimates. OP took the time to ask, why give him a rough estimation?
Bronze doesn’t mean quality, that is just efficiency. And usually efficiency doesn’t make a huge difference to your power bill. There are some 80+ PSUs better than 80+ Bronze psus. Some bronze are crap, some are better than”Gold” PSUs. Only use those ratings if efficiency is important, don’t rely on them.
There is no such thing as “good psu maker”, because firstly 2 out of 3 of the brands you suggested don’t “make” their power supplies, and every brand sells some crap/lowend/overpriced PSUs aswell as good value units. Also you’ll be missing out on many more options by restricting yourself to brand.
Reviews from Tomshardware or Techpowerup are more reliable as they go way more in depth compared to JonnyGURU for example.
A PSU with “good capacitors and cooling” doesn’t mean it’s a good PSU. There is so much more to a power supply than temps/noise/capacitors. For example, you have all the performance aspects, working protections, design and topology, component quality, solder quality.

OP, where are you located? Do you have a budget (for the PSU)?
