Good evening,
Would anyone mind checking over this to see if I've specified anything silly or missed something entirely critical please?
The goal is to build a system that's as quiet as I can afford to meet my gaming needs. Quiet will be a blessed relief after 3 years on an extremely noisy gaming laptop.
Building my own water cooling loop is out of the question for a good few years unfortunately.
I'm pretty fixed on the case and the idea of a AIO cooled graphics card, but everything else is experimental and in a good few case not yet released it seems. I was originally going to re-use my old case (Coolermaster ACTS 840), but it's too large to hide where it needs to hide.
Finally, if it's all good, if anyone happens to have any advice I should note before embarking on this particular build...
Thank you in advance!
Chris
