I'ved asked this question at the eggxpert forum, but it seems like some of those guys are idiots

I would stay away from those fans and get some scythe s-flex fans. Very quiet while still pushing plenty of air.

Change the RAM to corsair or crucial RAM, they make better sticks if you ask me.

Change the cooler to a XIGMATEK S1283 instead, it is cheaper and cools better.

Also drop the floppy drive, I see no reason to have one anymore these days.

Also the guy that suggested a Q9300 is retarded.

looked at the scyth but they are about 20 bucks a fan which is to much for fans. i'll take a look at the crucial ballitixs. one of the reasons i went with the 9700led is cause it's fits the abit IP35 pro.

$3-5 Yate Loons will to better than anything with the Apevia name on it. Promise. Avoid that company like the plague upon this earth that they are.

If you can get the Corsair 750TX for less AR I'd do that instead of the Silencer. I love my Silencer, but a 120mm fan /is/ preferable to the Silencer's 80mm, and cable length can be a little on the short side.

i think that this is more what u need for a fan, they are quiet and 70cfm if u want more u can get the 88, but thies are designed for pressure and not cfm so they dont back draft and push more air through things

and get this ram its much better and has gmh, mine dose with 4GB 820c3, 1010c4 and 1200c5, it could do better but i have an x38 and it dosnt get along with all ns latencies with micron

also i like my 750tx better than the silencer 750 its smaller and i like the cables better, but they perform about the same, and u could save $30 and get a diamond 3870 and go xfire latter on and since its a crossfire x card it will work with xfire with the rv770 when its out
