Note that this also uses a psu with a lots of watt, but this is because of the usage of the R9 390, which is a bit faster than the GTX 970 and has more Vram. You could just switch the case with the Silent Base 800 and be done.
Story Time
​
Initially, I started with this case ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q2Z11QE ) as I was thinking of throwing something together like what you're talking about. Then my "project" began to grow.
That's when I ended up ordering this case instead ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005KQ66ZC ). That said, my server consists of a Threadripper 2990WX with an AIO water cooler. Well...this case wasn't made for that. So my father in law machined a hole in the top to mount the radiator on the top of the case like a blower on a car. This worked VERY well for a couple of weeks, but I just wasn't happy with it.
Finally, I ordered this case ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091IZ1ZG ), to which I was able to fit everything inside of with a few extra bolts that still need to be trimmed. Here's a pic of the inside of mine and the temp 32 cores runs at ( https://imgur.com/tek9ID0 - https://imgur.com/vEPFLv5 ), do excuse the dust.
​
As far as SSD's go, just do something like this ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GMGZBP0 ). Saves space and doesn't hurt them as they only take a single HDD slot. Taping them to the side of the case doesn't hurt either if you don't care about the looks. Also, I want to boast about these fans for a min ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KFCRF1A ). Move a lot of air and aren't as loud as you'd think. The 120mm variant is a good bit louder, but still well worth it.

This should acceptable i think. Upgraded graphics card and better CPU. I was looking onto getting more new game title since right now im only capable on playing these two low requirement games. I was thinking about games like GTA V or Witcher 3. I also want some higher graphics in WoW even in intensive Raids.
Maybe change the graphics card since i think its kinda overkill ( is it?)
> I must reconsider my decision then, as I couldn't sleep while transferring files next room. It's really that annoying.
A quieter case is probably the more sensible reaction. Something along the lines of an Antec Sonata or Fractal Design R5. Chassis design makes a huge impact on how much hard drive noise makes it out into the room.

unRAID OS is installed and always running from the USB drive. It will never be removed and cannot be installed on a hard drive. Just make sure it is a trustworthy brand name and you can very easily see the serial number etched on the metal.
The only video card that is really 4k ready right now is the 1080 and it can't even do 60 FPS max settings consistently. An RX 480 is a 1080p gaming card. I love my RX 480, but I just don't want you thinking it will do 4k very well. For the case, the Fractal Design Define R5 or Define S should fit the bill. You can go look at reviews or Fractal Design's website to see the differences as there are a few, but they both are capable of holding 3 HDDs, have noise cancelling padding, and the R5 has rubber stands for HDDs to mitigate vibration.
Don't know if this is "small" but has a crap load of 3.5" trays.

Also there is the Fractal Design Define R5.

I personally think the Corsair Carbide is the best all around case that's designed to be silent.
Fractal Design's Define R5 is also a really good choice. I'm actually going with their Mini-Define for my microATX build I'm trying to build right now.

I'd be dubious, the accepted wisdom is that the game runs much better on Intel CPUs. It seems to me all your buying is a rig where all the parts are in need of upgrading.
I started playing on a crappy system and then built a decent one - there's no comparison, it's like having a different game altogether.
Crappy system - you're at a major disadvantage in nearly every PvP situation, can't see thru windows, FPS plummets as soon as you go into a built up area etc. etc.
If you've got the budget for something better don't buy it, Spend the $200 on something that you'll never need too upgrade like this and this add whatever else you can afford and if you can't complete inn one go save for the rest.
The only reason I'd buy that computer is if I knew it would take me a year or so to get the money together for something better and I wanted to learn the map in the meantime. That's not necessarily a bad option - there's a lot of map to learn and the game won't hold you hand too much.
I personally adore my Fractal R5 Define case -- it is close to £100 but my computer has been whisper-quiet with it.
Specs: states can fit cards up to 310mm with drive cages, and 440mm without. But if I recall it blocks 2-3 bays at >310mm, and the computer has 8 bays in total so...

This case is my favorite regarding silence, available interior space, easy cleaning, and able to hold internal dvd drive/ssd/hd.

Below is a cheaper version if you don't need an internal optical drive or many storage drives in your system.

Good choice, I was thinking that myself Fractal Design Define R5 Gaming Case Case
Noctua d15. This is the second system that have put the card in. It runs hot in my old i5 2500 k system as well. Case is a fractal design r5

Noise was #1 on my list when I built mine and I’ve never regretted spending a little more to have a silent case with plenty of room for drives to expand into later.

Before converting the 5.25 bays, where do you get 16 3.5 bays?
Check out this PC case It's not a fancy RGB case but it has a dampening material inside that helps with noise. I also recommend getting these fans to help with reduced noise.

Is $154+tax a good deal for a Fractal R5? https://www.amazon.ca/Fractal-Design-Define-Gaming-FDCADEFR5BK/dp/B00Q2Z11QE/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=fractal+r5&qid=1564607459&s=gateway&sr=8-1
I've been eyeing up the R6 which has been down to the $140 range before. What do I gain/lose with the R5? I don't need USB-C and I don't want a glass side, although I'll put up with it.
The R6 is around $180 at the moment: https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX70503
should i buy the Thermaltake Suppressor F31 or the Fractal Design Define R5
well if you are into streaming and that kind of stuff then you should pick something like this one
