Hey guys. I hate being the new guy on the forums but here it goes
I am new to WCing and building in general but if I can get some good guidance from the pros I am willing to give it a shot.
I read through the forums and did some research and decided this case would be cool and since it has its own custom kit with it that would make this a little easier.

I do plan on OCing and I do want it to be quiet.

Any thoughts, feelings, things I might be forgetting? Important facts I need to know before I take the dive?
I have friends with alot of tech knowledge but I want this to be my build so I want to figure things out for my self and maybe ask them for help if i really get in trouble.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
