Hello. I am trying to build a quiet sytem with good performance. Nothing hardcore or anything. Although I am concerned whether this will be quiet enough or not.

Antec p150
abit kn8 sli (passive chipset cooling)
evga 7900gt w/ vf700cu
athlon x2 3800+

As far as sound goes, there will be
1.80mm fan running from the psu
2. antec tricool 120mm fan
3. athlon x2 3800+ retail fan
4. 7900gt fan replaced with a vf700cu.

Would this system be relatively quiet? I am also concerned how quiet the stock athlon x2 fan would be.
 
Arctic Cooling Silencer 64 Ultra TC will be inexpensive and *very* quiet, and also let you do some moderate overclocking.

Shove the thing into an Antec Sonata II case and you'll be golden.
 
If you tape a matress around it, it gets REALLY quiet.

But your machine will probably be quiet as is. :D At least, a lot quieter than my system...
 
What is the silencer 64? I have heard of the freezer 64 pro and am debating over whether to get that or a zalman cnps7700. It seems that the stock heatsink for the 3800+ is ghetto so I need an aftermarket cooler.

Either of those will work too. The Silencer 64 is the budget version of the Freezer and it's basically silent. The stock heatsink isn't ghetto, but it is kinda loud.
