New Build Help - Quiet, efficient gaming and video editing

[aalkjsdflkj]

It's time to replace the I7-3770k build from 2012. The case and PSU are from a prior build from the mid-2000s, so this is a full build. I did buy an NVIDIA 1070 when they came out, but that's the only part I plan to re-use. Low noise is the #1, 2, and 3 priority. Because I keep my computers for 5+ years and re-use the case and PSU, I prefer to spend money on quality parts. I would really like to have more than enough storage so I don't need to keep loading and unloading games from Steam/Oculus. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!


Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: Late July 2018

Budget Range: $2,000, but flexible. Price isn't much of a concern.

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Oculus Rift, general gaming (Skyrim, Civ V and VI, Fallout 4 and New Vegas), video and photo editing, general use

Are you buying a monitor: No

Parts to Upgrade: Totally new build except GPU - Asus Strix 1070 Gaming

Do you need to buy OS: Yes - Windows

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: None

Location: City, State/Region, Country - Colorado Springs, CO, USA

Parts Preferences: No preferences

Overclocking: Unlikely

SLI or Crossfire: No

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1200 - Looking at a Dell AW3418DW 3400x1440 G-Sync at some point in the future

Additional Comments: I am extremely sensitive to noise, even very quiet noise. I rarely build a new system, so the motherboard, CPU, cooler, etc. need to last 5+ years - my current system is an I7 3770k-based computer with a re-used case and PSU from the mid-2000s. I am re-using my NVIDIA 1070, but no other parts. Cost is NOT an issue. I want high quality parts that will last, but most importantly will stay QUIET. High endurance and reliability are very important.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Running out of storage space (400GB OS/Games/Apps & 4TB Video/Photo), some stuttering in my Oculus Rift, but really I just want something newer than 2012. I think a 1TB SSD will store my OS, applications, and games for a while. 8TB should be enough storage for a while.

Include a list of any parts you have already selected with descriptively labeled links for parts.

That PSU is way overpriced, as is that ram. Also gave you another SSD to use as a scratch disk.

logainofhades - thank you!

It looks like you were able to save a significant amount of money - thank you! I'm reading reviews of all of the parts you suggested; it looks like you improved the build for less money. My #1 concern is noise, and it looks like Tom's Hardware found the 850W version of the EVGA SuperNOVA G3 to be very loud, but I'll check other reviews to see if they're an outlier. All the other parts I've looked at appear to be improvements so far, but I'm working my way through reviews.
