The same tower I have now, but twice as big (so it costs double)

That's your current build and you chose to do air cooling.


You should of gone water cooling.

i don't know anything about watercooling
and I don't do extreme overclocking so I wouldn't really gain a lot

If you can install a heatsink you can watercool, I use All in one watercoolers like the Corsair H100i, I could only dream about making my own watercooling loops, but its expensive.

My computer is the most silent thing ever, the only thing I hear is the 1TB HDD where steam is.
I use a SSD for Windows.

It's slightly over budget but eh, I could always mow some lawns.

I'll think about it the next time I build a whole new computer
But for now I won't get much use from it, as I'm not doing extreme overclocking, and my computer is already almost silent
