I'm gonna be building my second gaming PC for a freind (I'm still pretty new to bulding PC) so maybe you guys could check if this build is completly silent (or nearly). Do i need silent case fans or is the fans that comes with the case silent enough and do i need to chance anything(any recommendations)

CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K
Motherboard: Asus ROG MAXIMUS X HERO (WIFI)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 3000MHz
Storage: Samsung 960 EVO 250GB M.2-2280 SSD
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB SC
Case: be quiet! Silent Base 800 ATX
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750W
CPU cooler be quiet! Silent Loop 240

(He says he doesnt need that much space thats why i doesnt have any hdd or 500gb ssd in the build)
 
Looks pretty OK to me but there are some possible issues:

Lack of storage, with games taking up so much space these days at least a 500Gb SSD is advisable.

Unless your friend is playing at 2K or beyond AND demands the highest settings the GTX1080Ti is an expensive choice, a cheaper GTX1080 can deliver very good gameplay at even 2K rez for significantly less cash.

There's little gaming advantage with a i7, a i5 8600K has 98% of the performance for far less cash.

Does he/she really need such an expensive MB? a cheaper part along with an WiFi adaptor may be a less expensive option.
 

Yea i think i'm going to take a 500Gb instead
He wants the best of the best because he wants a PC he can have for a long time and play 4k
He want to be able to upgrade to SLI later, will he be able to do that if he have a wifi adaptor?
