This will be my first time I built my PC.

a Few question:

1. Whats quietest and most reliable Harddrive(non ssd) for 4tb to 6tb drives. Was going to get WD Black but noise level is high, I don't trust seagate. I was leaning toward Hitachi Deskstar or Ultrastar 7k4000. ( Will be installing 3 drives in non-Raid setup). What is best option?

2. Should I use the stock fans from the case or should I grab different fans like Corsair High performance or Quiet Edition fans?

3. Is their any changes I should make to my list or suggestions(Different Blu-Ray Drive, PSU, etc...)?

4. Lastly trying best to make it as quiet as possible.

5. If I want to do Water Cooling system later on, Anyone have a link to a simple setup (with a complete step by step guide video or Pictures)?
 
It will be used for gaming, watching blurays, video editing and recording.

Are you sure about WD blacks? Some videos showed them pretty loud. I need system to be as quiet as possible. I will be installing three of them.
 
if it were me i'd be looking at something like this
i changed to windows 8 as 7 only supports 16gb of ram max. Changed the board as it is in my opinion the best x99 board as the asus ws boards are quality and allows for x16 4 way sli to maximise multiple gpus. i picked the asus titan x as it has a factory oc and is cheaper. I changed the psu to the g2 as it is $30 but of equal quality only difference is it is 80+ gold rather than platinum. Finally i added the fans i would recommend were you to add extra case fans.
