My friend wants me to help him with a air cooled build with silence in mind, since I've been out of the loop awhile on cases targeted for air cooling performance I'm hoping to get some good input here. I tried talking him into water cooling since it is near silent but he doesn't seem interested in the maintenance aspect of it.
I told him about my previous experience with the Silverstone FT02 and how it was a great air cooling case since it could be near silent as well. He seemed somewhat interested in it but I was wondering if there is anything superior these days with air cooling optimization with silence in mind. Cooler suggestions would be appreciated as well. But I assume Noctua's NH-D15 is still king.
Other notes: He wants a 7700k with a GTX 1080Ti and 16GB of RAM, He doesn't want to use hard drives so drive cages arn't necessary in the case. He plans to get a 4k monitor. He doesn't play any high end games so I see 4k possible on his system that he wants. He mainly plays World of Warcraft, World of Tanks and occasionally plays games like Fallout 4, Skyrim, Starcraft 2 and doesn't mind turning settings down.
