Also EVGA is always the best GPU brand, Gigabyte a close second. IIRC MSI tends to be durable enough, but it lacks in performance compared to its equivalents.
this is untrue on the hardware level

they all use the same exact graphics chip, all manufactured by nvidia, all thats different between resellers is the heatsink and the settings applied to the chip, i.e voltages, clock speed, fan speed

you're paying for their specific setup using their coolers and settings, if you really wanted you could just buy the cheapest 1070 you could afford and use those heatsinks and settings and there would be no difference

the real reason for considring one brand over another is the customer services

==========

also the 212 is fine for overclocking, the K series dont come with boxed coolers anymore so they pretty much expect you to oc your machine

i havent been seeing adverse temps on my 212 + 6600k @ 4.3 ghz
While that's true, someone who doesn't want to overclock their processor probably doesn't plan on diving into gpu settings or replace the heatsink. A 1080 is a 1080, but small differences have small performance differences. I don't disagree though, you explained it much better than me.

And I really was talking more about the computer sounding like a jet taking off, but I really wasn't clear about that at all by using words like "heating issues".

cpu fans shouldnt be making any noises at all

normally you shouldnt be able to pick out any fan noise apart from the gpu which throttles the fan control once under load

the only time i ever hear my cpu fan is if its brushing against a wire or something

that or your fan might be broken, or not using the system fan control pins if its constantly at 1800 rpm
CPU fan is definitely dependent on cpu load. If you're running at 80-90% load, you will definitely hear the fan.

It's also temperature dependant; if you didn't use enough thermal paste/it wasn't applied directly you could have heating issues (which would trigger the fan).

Of course, this is much more noticeable with stock fans, but the point is that fans will always make some sort of noise. That noise is linked to the intensity of the load the components are under; if he's planning to run everything basically stock, then he shouldn't have any problems with the fan getting loud.

im not saying theres no noise im saying the noise should blend in the same as any other case fan because thats basically what the 212 uses

you can replace the 212's fan with any 120mm fan

any case fan not using pin control power will be running at maximum, the 212 being the same as any of these shouldnt be any louder than any other, if not even quieter

GPU fans are pushing much more air through a smaller amount of space than a 212 in a semi-enclosed heatsink, hence why they are often the loudest part in cooling of any system

even with my GPU out my pc's case fans have always been loud enough that i cant hear my cpu cooler at all, and the only sound my case fans make is a soft "woosh", no mechanical whirring or whine of any sort that could be described as particularly noisy

Signature goes here.
I personally liked the full tower you picked out over the mid tower, but that's probably cause I'm a sucker for windowed cases and I have a Corsair 760T.

Changed the RAM to a different brand (slightly cheaper but same mhz, performance and 16GB).
Changed the Cooler from the Be Quiet to the EVO 212.
Changed the full tower to a Mid one.
Added a small case fan.

Thoughts? This made it a 100 euros cheaper than before without losing performance (I assume).
looks fine to me

i have no idea what that ram is but it probably doesnt matter

as for case fans get anything
