Hi, my current build:
Corsair Graphite 600T Midi Tower Case - Limited Edition White
Asus P8P67 Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard ** B3 REVISION ** (2nd already as the 1st one got RMA replaced after 2y1m of using it)
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - not OCed
Corsair HX 750W ATX Modular SLI Compliant Power Supply
Patriot Viper Xtreme 4GB (2x2GB) PC3-16000C9 2000MHz Dual Channel Kit (I think I will need to upgrade it)
Corsair A50 High-Performance CPU Cooler (Socket AM2/AM3/LGA775/LGA1155/LGA1156/LGA1366)
2x Western Digital RE3 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache
MSI N650-1GD5/OCV1 can be replaced with XFX ATI Radeon HD 6850 Black Edition 1024MB

After over 2 years my case became noisy. Was thinking about building my PC into my desk and have it behind a window but that would be a bit expensive party for me :P
What about watercooling my CPU and GPU ? Was trying to find some kind of waterblocks for the GPU but none of them says anythink about NV650 or ATI one :confused:
Or there is no point in watercooling my card and just get Corsair cooling kit for the CPU ?
I would like to make nice looking build but not to sure what direction shall I go. Most important think is that the build needs to be quiet as I have 6months old baby at home ;)
Really need your help with it.
 
First of all whats your budget but straight off the bat i would upgrade the cpu cooler for a closed loop like the 100i then if you had the upgrade bug

Nice little overclock, that chip is going to waste @ stock
4gb more ram
Ssd
7850/7950
Upgrade all case fans to nice quiet ones that suit you
 
If all works like I would like to I'll have aboud £700.
Shall I watercool GPU or leave it as it is ? And what manufacturer shall I choose?
RAM - Corsair Vengeance Pro Blue 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-14900C9 1866MHz ?
I am going into blue as I like blue colour and mobo is blue featured ;)
 
the gpu fans can be some of the noisiest contributors to pc noise, I had an ati fan that would constantly go up and down, if you want to cut down on noise, that will help imho

yes watercooling would help a great deal, but what do you want to end up with? a quieter PC? a slightly more powerful pc that's slightly quieter? or simply a more powerful pc?
 
Well, I think more quieter then if it's possible a bit more powerfull but quieter is the most important part. For some time I will not have much time for gaming because of baby but from time to time I can send my wife on a long walk ;)

I like these suggestions, definately go with a closed loop system for your cpu if you aren't too sure about w/cooing a system, they work fantastically.
