I agree that the gpu is going to be the noisiest thing there.

Also the 750D probably isn't the best case for airflow, not that I suggest changing it.

Obviously watercooling will make it quieter, but that is something I know absolutely zero about.
 
got 3 screens already :p, the case is good for airflow currently got 7990 at 75c max!

with no exhaust fans

dont like watercooling but thank you, also i got Air con in here so temps are good :) looks like gpu any ideas on upgrades?
 
In some ways yes, but in others no, 780ti is more efficient, cooler, uses less power etc. Having 2 though would be pretty good, what resolution do you play at?
 
Might be worth keeping the 7990 then, do you get low frames playing at high/max at all? If not i'm not sure to upgrade if anything.
