Is this Build 4K and VR Ready?

I think I explained previously, the H440 (H for hush) is a part of the NZXT Silent range. You'll find it to be a pretty good case, on the budget I'd suggest using an aircooler for the time being, it's like 100eur cheaper and doesn't really take a hit on performance, while being quiet 😉.

I'd 100% suggest keeping a HDD in your build.. - The SSD is mainly for booting your system, google chrome, spotify ETC not for all your games and files.

You CAN upgrade both later on but a 120GB SSD will barely be enough to get a game on, for example GTAV is like 100GB alone before you have windows10 which is about 50GB now.

Honestly if you want a list to start for 1400eur and to upgrade bits later go for this, I know it's a bit over but you won't be buying anything unnecessary or wasteful at a later date;

The CPU does come with a stock cooler and it'll be surprisingly good for the time being, then get the other cooler at a later date. If you really hate the look of any components just say and I'll try to find an alternative for a similar price.
 
I looked up the case colors and I'm going with the black version though I really like the black amd green one but since I'm having an AiO watercooler with yellow liquid inside my build the black case color makes more sense 😉.
If I can go with 120gb ssd for a month that's fine and I have an external HDD laying somewhere in my room but I have no idea how much storage is on it, gonna search it today.
we can go a little bit up, like 1550 which includes the aio and brakets.
My idea would be to swap the r7 1700 out with a 1600X but I have ZERO Overclocking expirence.
Though I liked those 6-7ghz 7700K liquid nitrogen overclocking videos ::::).
btw please add the arctic mainboard it looks unique!.

I know the design r5 is insanly quiet but its design is the big downside.
 
Team green REEEEEEE

Yeah on a case I prefer going pretty simplistic. I'd heavily suggest a 250GB SSD but if you really think you can run off a 120GB then it's your call.

To be honest if your watercooler is mainly for show then it doesn't matter when you get it! The wraith cooler isn't that bad. shown here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzIIIoSveU0&t=1s

Personally I'd hold off on the watercooling and try air cooling, remember you can ALWAYS change things at a later date and it's better to spend less money 😉

But yeah just throw that liquid nitrogen on and go 6ghz lol! Better to leave that to the professionals!

I mean tbh I like the Frac R5 but the H440 is an equivalent, the quiet case market isn't a HUGE market but there's some nice cases, I'll find some more options!
 
Can I buy the thermaltake one and try it out and see if the noise level is okay?
I mean it would take me less than 6h and after that I could.....you know...send it back because I hear some wreid non existing vibrance sound (;.
Then I could buy the H440 case and try it out and see if the sound dampening is worth it.

I know its not the right thing to do but how am I supposed to try a case then?
 
Totally can change things at a later date, tbh I did recommend with going with something that was like a possible permanent soloution though?😉

Honestly my look at it is if you want a quiet PC then we've recommended some, but changing the case cooler and stuff at a later date from personal experience is alot of effort for more or less just aesthetical differences, like you don't really gain any performance out of it maybe 0.2 of a db or something quieter but at the end of the day the components inside is more or less what determines your computer sound, unless you buy an anechoic chamber and put the PC itself in there.

Maybe I'm being a lil' OTT but I think you get what I mean :)
