what are your hardware specs?
8gb Ram..
Amd Fx6300
Gigabyte 990fxa motherboard..
2 HDDs..one 1TB and the other 750gb.
Windows 8.1 Pro..
EVGA GTX 770 SC ACX..I actually decided on the GTX against the 280x and 290 cause I wanted the Nvidia features and the 290 gets too hot..game ran smooth as butter with everything maxed..they updated it with. Physx today and I set it on high wit my same settings and it dropped my performance a lot for some reason..PhysX works perfectly fine with every other game I play...only game I kinda gave up on is Crysis 3 cause of minor stutter issues cause I've tried everything under the blue sun and nothing works to remove stutter from that game for me....and I know it's not my system so I just chalk that up to driver issues..

Do water and/or air intake coolers cost more when trying to build a new pc?

I'm trying to build a PC and I want it to be as quite as possible (no rattling or none of dat)

not sure i've never had anything besides liquid cooling. doesn't a stock intel processor nowadays come with decent cpu cooler/fan?

I'm pretty happy with my antec h2o 620 ($48), quiet and efficient. never had a problem with it

how many dB's does an average 4-8 core processor emit? I've been out of the game for a minute, but one of my biggest gripes with desktops is the noise
