Build a Cheap Super Silent Gaming PC
Recently i have bought and build a pc for my home office. I decided to build a computer as silent as possible with a good CPU, a mid-range graphic card, a silent tower with good cable management and SSD storage. The price (without the operating system) is about 1200$. Following you will find a list of the components that I have bought.

Conclusion
The pc is really quite. When it is powerd on it doesen’t make any noise, also when gaming. Counter strike is playable in full texture details with a 4k resolution (3840 × 2160 px). Call of Duty Black Ops III, Far Cry 4 or GTA V are playable in FullHD with high texture and at least 30-40 frames/s. The Seagate SSHD is faster than a normal HD and perfect for saving games and movies. I have connected it to 2 monitors ASUS PB287Q 4K. All in all a good pc at a reasonable price.
