PSU: Unsure, looking for respectable, well performing and quiet.
Case: Unsure, looking for good cable management, good cooling and fairly quiet.
I would like this build to be pretty quiet which is why I chose that particular video card (Is the asus 2 fan gpu or other alternatives about as quiet and cheaper?), and hopefully not too much of a heat generator (relatively speaking). I am debating whether some sort of water cooling (H100), based on if it is any better performing/quieter than the 212+? Thanks for any help and suggestions.
