    1 x Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST2000DM001)

    1 x Sandisk Extreme SSD 120GB 2.5" SATA-3 Solid State Hard Drive - (SDSSDX-120G-G25)

    1 x Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-Bit - OEM (GFC-02050)

    1 x LG GH22NS90 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM

    Yes its for gaming. I no that I5 is what people say to go for if your gaming and go for I7 if you video edit or any modeling programe etc. The only thing is that one thing is nagging me. If i get an I5 now and say in a year and half games come out and need an I7 i have it there just in case.

    On that board it means the mobo will act as a wifi hotspot also - basically extending your routers wifi range
    Also allows easier connectivity to DLNA set up - TVs etc
    As well as allowing you to remotely access the desktop with a tablet or smartphone

    Furthemore you wouldnt want an OC set up if you want quiet - OC=more heat=increased fan speed

    It should be fairly quiet while not gaming, but the fans on the GPU are going to get fairly noisy when you start gaming. Particularly for an OC card.

    If you are after something a bit quieter then you could take a look at the recently released MSI Power Edition versions which have an aftermarket cooler fitted, which should be a good bit quieter. Probably costs more of course.
