Me again, Basically just wondering what you all think is the best quiet or silent cooling solution for an AM3 system? Budget isn't really an issue though the noise doesn't bother me enough to start throwing more than the system is worth into cooling.
Current components with fans are CPU, GPU, Mobo and PSU. Main culprits of noise seem to be GPU and PSU though the CPU could also do with a little bit of silencing.
Happy to look into water cooling or happy to stick with air cooling but I'm not too handy so if it involves drilling or heavy modding of components its probably not for me.

Thanks in advance all.
