Hello everyone, I have been planning my own PC for some time now. The main focus for me is noise. I'm currently playing with an Alienware 17R4 notebook with a GTX1070 graphics card. The fans turn up so massively there that it bothers me. I would like to install the following components: https://www.digitec.ch/de/ShopList/Show?shopListId=5F96A2AACBBC0CDD28C2784D34EF43B8 - Is this compatible? Have I forgotten anything? - Is the cooling sufficient with these components? - Can anything be said about the noise? Thank you for your opinion

Regarding your 1st question
I have the same mainboard and the components are compatible.
- don't you want a 2nd M2 instead of the SATA 2.5? The mainboard has 2 M2 interfaces
- Do you really want to buy Windows for 165?

Hello online shopping

I have a similar setting as you with the following differences:
- Corsair H150i pro instead of NZTX watercooling
- Aorus xtreme 2080ti
- Bequiet Dark Base 700 case (sound insulating)

I can tell you the following for my PC:
- with normal use (and thus low rotation speed), both the Corsair case fans and the WaKü are not audible at all. The Graka runs in "fan stop mode" anyway, so it's not audible either.

- When gaming (e.g. Assassin's creed odyssey on Ultra settings 4k hdr on approx. 80 fps cut) I need a bit of overclocking and set the case fans, the graka fans and the WaKü aggressively myself. Then it becomes quite audible! But maybe less than my Dell XPS 15 9570 with its gtx 1050......
In this context, however, the noise doesn't bother me at all, since I wear a headset...

What I want to say: Noise production will exist, but you can control it yourself (by setting the fan etc. more restrictively). Of course, you will lose a bit of performance or overclocking.
