First PC Build :-/

[SieB]

that sounds like great plan to me

, so the kit you suggested on aria would be good to go ahead with then, i guess i just need to pick a good case now , a graphics card , hdd , and an ssd.

Yep, that's good to go with a case and HDD etc.

SSD would be good for your OS drive

a samsung F3 HDD would be good for storage

although, in both cases there are alternatives, depending on your budget...

case, as i mentioned before, i love Lian Li because they are sleak, but there are others, and it again, depends on your budget, ....

Hmm yeah I am going to be getting both the SSD for os and the F3 Hdd. So you recommend that case , do you have any reason for like that case ? Just wondering if the cable management is good etc. My budget is quite wide lol so I want to build a slick system that is going to last me a while, that I can upgrade along the way

. Any graphics cards you would recommend I got the 570 in mind .

Hi Guys , looking to order my whole system this evening , so i can begin building it this weekend. Still got to decide on PSU , Case , and graphics card.

My choice of cases so far , is the ' Bitfenix Colossus - black" or the NZXT Phantom, any cases that you guy's recommend ? . I am looking to make my pc as silent as possible , my PSU choice is '850W be quiet PSU" , are there any cheaper alternatives ? and i am looking at getting a gtx 570 graphics card , i just want a top of the range gpu that will enable me to play all the new games at high settings with Physx.

thanks for the reply

, hmm it is cheaper however will it be as silent as the psu i suggested ? do you have any tips hardware wise on how to keep the pc as silent as possible, like any recommended fans ?

thanks, i guess cable management takes time first time round right ? i am thinking of building a high end pc , i7 sandybridge processor, 4 or 8gb memory, 560ti graphics card. Am i right to think i will need a 850w upwards psu ? also is there a particular motherboard you recommend ? i am worried about cooling , such as how many fans i will need to install etc. Also a prefrence of mine is that i would love to be able to build a quiet/silent pc, but i guess i will have to take the water cooling route for that.

If anyting water is louder, more fans. A Fractal R3 is a great case for a silent build get a couple more Fractal fans and maybe even a passive cpu heatsink. in terms of GPU a GPU with an aftermarket HSF so maybe a KFA2 GTX 560 with those two fans, the bigger the fans the quiter usualy.

Noctua fans,scythe gentle-typhoons or cm sickleflows and a fancontroller.

The tx850 is way more than needed.Dont think fan will go fullspeed,with your spechs.

If you have enough money,look at lian li fulltowers(pc-a70 or a71).Lian-li build-quality is 2nd to none.
