What components does some one needs to build a decent silent gaming/HTPC machine?
I would like to play games like COD2, 3, & 4 etc. Can I get away without water cooling?

I know that water cooling is the best solution, but I don't have the money for it. I was bugeting $800.00 ~ $1,000.00 no monitor included. I have some decent samsung 21" and 30" LCD monitors already. Or should I use a second computer just for gaming and leave the silent pc for other quiet tasks? (reading, downloading overnight, etc)
 
Sure. Go for a big heatsink like the Ultima 90, Tuniq Tower, Ultra 120 Extreme, etc., and put in a slow fan like a low-speed Scythe, Nexus, etc. Look for a G92 card with a 2 slot cooler or consider getting an aftermarket cooler for it. A quiet case like the P180 will also help. Go Samsung for your storage needs. Seasonic for power supply.
