Hello everyone,
I am about to pull the trigger on ordering the components for my new gaming build and I just want to be sure everything is compatible and would like some opinions. This is my first build so all advice is welcome.
My goal is to be the proud owner of beautiful, ultra-silent, own-build gaming pc so I hope this'll work out!
Some considerations:
-I have chosen to start out only with a 250GB ssd, and will add some more ssd storage when I need it and prices might have come down by then.
-A question: what would be a good way to power the fans in this build? The asus has two 4 pin fan headers labelled CPU_FAN and CPU_CHAS.
I will have 2 non pwm fans on the noctua cooler, one intake Noiseblocker M12-S1and one exhaust Noiseblocker M12-S1. These are also non PWM.
So I have 4 fans to connect and only 2 motherboard headers. How do I solve this? Suggestions on even better noise/performance fans and set-up are allways welcome.
-The 400W PSU seems underpowered for the components it is powering but I have been recommended this PSU by a OCN member named Lizard-Brain, awesome guy who gave me some good advice. He said that when a PSU goes below 15% load it becomes very inefficient and I want an eficient pc because that equals less heat=less noise. And I care for the environment.
With that in mind, have a look:

So what do you guys think?
