SG08 Asrock ITX build

Hi there guys,

I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on the following build, it's just a gaming build but I want it to be small, cool and quiet, not intending to overclock to start with.

Just hung up on which GTX 670 and which CPU cooler to go with at the moment.

Case: Silverstone SG08 Black with 600W
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H80 CPU Cooler (are these fairly quiet?)
Mobo: Asrock Z77E-ITX Mini ITX Motherboard
RAM: Corsair Vengeance CML8GX3M2A1600C9W 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3
SSD: SanDisk Extreme Solid State Drive 240GB
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 OC 2GB (this as quiet as a GTX 670 will get?)
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit with SP1 OEM

So that is where I'm at just now. I know the motherboard is new, so I'm hoping I can fit a good aircooler on it rather than going hydro as I think the air will be more quiet, then I'm still reading about GPU's and I think the Giga version of the 670 is pretty quiet too, either that or the Asus direct CU version!

Buying it from PCCG just shy of 2K, planning to use my external 1TB drive for media etc. I'll put a big ass HDD in it later if I need!

Thoughts?

AXP-140 should fit on an asrock board. if you don't go crazy on OC, the AP181 that comes with the SG08 should provide suffice cooling for the AXP-140 so you don't have to run a fan on it.

Thanks for that, I was hoping I could get away with something along those lines. I suppose I can start off with a simple air solution and change things from there if need be.

The gigabyte windforce 670's are supposed to be the most quiet of the 670's are they not? I've read a few reviews but no comparisons.

Also I'm in the UK just now, but actually live in Australia, which stores should I look at prices to compare parts with, I can potentially buy some stuff and claim the VAT back on my way home.

Cheers
Dave
