Trying a new build. Any impressions?

[rezen]

Hi all,

I decided to build a new machine and get in on some of this new Intel goodness. The parts I'm looking at for now are:

Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H
Corsair Vengeance (8GB for now)
Fractal Design Define R3
Nexus NX-5000 R3 530w
Scythe Mugen 3 rev.B
Intel i5-3570K
Kingston SSDNow V200 128GB

I really want this to be a silent machine. There are some other (more expensive usually!) choices like a Prolimatech Megahalems instead with a Scythe fan or even the R4 case instead if it can be justified.

That PSU is hard to find and I am willing to get something else if I know it can be as quiet as I don't really like a small warranty on a PSU.

Any recommendation on any fans for the case and thermal paste for the HSF would be great! I heard that Arctic Silver 5 doesn't cut it anymore...

look at my build - its quiteeeeeeeeeeeee!

the case you chose is good, used one for my sister. I blocked the side vent! - can always use some noise dampener!
