Hello! I have (finally) decided to buy a new PC! I live in Sweden, so I can't buy from newegg.
My goals is mainly to play games, obviously.. But I also want as silent as possible!
This is my plan:
CPU: i5 3570k [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504"]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504[/URL]
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145345"]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145345[/URL]
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 OC [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125423"]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125423[/URL]
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131824"]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131824[/URL]
SSD: Corsair Force GT 120GB [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233191"]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233191[/URL]
Power: Corsair Power Supply 600W GS 80 Plus [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028"]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028[/URL] Close to that one, couldn't find the swedish one
Case: Fractal Design Define R4 [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352020"]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352020[/URL]
Some extra fans
Does these parts fit together? And is there better options for that money?
In the future i plan to get a harddrive, cpu cooler and perhaps overclock a bit.
Also, can I use a harddrive to install windows 7 on the ssd? Or do I need to buy a dvd drive?
I'd recommend a Samsung 830 SSD, and that GPU fan is going to be pretty loud. Additional fans will most likely add to the noise level as well. And overclocking is basically a goodbye to quiet PCs.
You can use a USB stick to install Windows 7, I've never heard about putting install media for windows on a HDD, no idea if that would work.
Also, if you don't plan on using that many HDDs, I recommend getting a case with better airflow.

Alright, I will look into that samsung SSD and maybe change the 670 to a ASUS card? I thought that more fans = less noise since they can all run slower, am I totally wrong?
Could you recommend a better case?
Usually more fans equals cooler.
As for the case, I hear Corsair makes good noise dampened cases, but I don't really know much about that kind of cases.
Can anyone else recommend a better case then? And does the build look good otherewise?
The gigabyte 670 doesnt make that much sound, I have one. I also have a Fractal Design Define R3 and again I can't really see anything wrong with it and if the R3 is like the R4 the intake fans will have dust filters, after 2 months I open my PC up and hardly see anything inside, I would however change the intake fan in that case since its the only thing that really makes as sound. Temp wise the case is fine
