Im about to order the rest of the parts for my build. looking for input on this parts list before I purchase


https://pcpartpicker.com/p/2n0KY

I already bought a gtx 780 and a rosewell 750watt power supply (80+ bronze).

my only questions are about the cooling and SSD

how quiet is the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO ? I know they make fans that are supposed to be quieter, but are those fans really that quiet or do they sacrifice cooling efficiency ?

thinking about bumping the SSD up to a 240-260 GB, but should I go for the cheapest SSD or are the pricier ones that are supposed to be slightly faster worth it ? Im thinking that even a "slow" SSD would be adequate enough for me--is this a good deal ? LINK

The fan isn't the quietest thing in the world, but it stays pretty reasonable even during gaming if I recall correctly. Either way, your video card fan will be the loudest thing in the case.

Everything on your parts list is good.

That's not even a slow SSD, and it is a good deal.

I actually have no other comments.

Did anyone pick up a couple SSDs during NewEggs end of the year thing?

I purchase 1xVertex 3 IPOS 120GB and 1xCorsair GT 60GB for $110. Always goo to have spare SSDs for boot or extra storage on spare PCs. I want to say that Vertex is as quick as an 840 Evo, but is just MLC as compare to TLC.
