I would probably spend a little more on the monitor but it's your choice.

Assuming you have everything hooked up and the fans are PVM you can just adjust case fan speeds in most bios' under power usually. I have an aftermarket GPU and CPU cooler i know it can get a little ambient high in my case but my gpu an cpu should be fine so i keep my fan speeds around 1200rpm

Just set up what I think I'm gonna buy, what do you guys think? I'm gonna sleep on it and make the purchase tomorrow.

cut 4gb of RAM and get a better case like the Cooler Master HAF 922 or Scout. That case is soooo fucking loud.

I have no idea why you insist on that useless amount of RAM :/

lol, alright I was wrong. that RAM was actually a link posted by someone earlier in this thread. I changed it as well as the case, but I'm completely lost when it comes to buying a heatsink. The mugen2 somebody suggested is out of stock. What type of compatibility should I be looking for in a heatsink?

Yeah non stock coolers usually like to pertrude to be massive heatsinks when it comes to computers. Just note that the coolers for cpu are big enough that a backplate is usually given to support the weight it's why you always want a roomy case. if you want to talk about massive

lol but the nice thing about it is that you can run the fan speed usually pretty low and the temperature is usually pretty stable even under load still so they are great for quiet pcs
