You have some challenges ahead to make that a quiet rig, not to mention silent.
WC on the CPU and GPU is a good start, but you'll want the largest (except thickness) radiator you can fit. Putting a large radiator into a 6070 won't be easy, and that case has very limited air intake. You need to commit to modding it or choose something else. Finally, most hardcore silencers add damping materials to aluminum cases; steel may not require this.
Those WD drives are a problem as well. The 37GB Raptors are noisier - and slower - than the new 74GB version. There is no 200GB Raptor, but the standard WD JBs are very loud drives. If you're more interested in performance than quiet, I'd suggest a 74GB Raptor plus a 160GB Samsung SP1614. Go with 2 1614s if quiet is more important. You'll want to decouple any HDs from the case in some manner to help reduce vibration.
