Solution
Would get quieter 140mm case fans.

Agree you should get a bigger ssd.

That is entirely too much gpu for a standard 1080p/60 monitor. If you don’t plan to upgrade the monitor, would step down to a gtx 1060 6gb. If you want to keep the gtx 1080 would go all in on the monitor and get 27”, 1440p, 144hz, gsync.
