My overall comment is that your new system will be silent. True, heavy metal has left me with substandard ears, but I can't tell when my new Motherhead 8800 is on even if I'm sitting beside it, and running silent wasn't even a big demand of mine -- in fact I bought a case that I would describe as "extremely perforated".

  • CPU cooling: what a baffling fucking ordeal. I seek "quiet", "cool", and "cheap", in that order. Watercooling is not an option. Please suggest.

    • Don't worry about this until you discover you need it. The stock AMD heatsinks and fans are huge, great and quiet.

    My speakers hum when the drives are going, I hate that. Will a better sound card eliminate it?

    Probably.
