Chazore, you do know that there are back Noctua fans, right?

or https://www.scan.co.uk/products/120mm-noctua-nf-f12-industrialppc-2000rpm-high-performance-fan

though this one won't be quiet at all

 

As for the monitor, given that you want a 27", 1080p, 144Hz and G-Sync, I'd go with the Acer Predator Z271

It's a bit pricey and curved, but it has an VA panel with a 3000:1 contrast ratio, 4ms response time, Flicker Free and the TFTCentral review of it is very positive

I could make use of the grey ones for the clear side of my C70 case, though the black coloured one would be ideal to match the black fans already inside my current rig, though the noise would become an issue. I have no pads inside or out of the case to dampen the noise.

The curved one isn't that bad in price, it's actually cheaper than the others which range upwards to 600/700+. Not sure on the VA type though, what are the downsides of VA compared to TN and IPS?.

I'll also be going for a gaming chair since the current office wheelie one is doing my back in. A new KB+M is also in the works , I'm basically going all out on a new rig/setup, minus the PSU/Case.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"
