Well I was going to get a Radeon 7870 but I'm not sure which one. Should I get the oem version 1 blower fan or the sapphire version 2 axial fans btw I'm using a fractal design core 1000 would airflow be okay I'm using the one 120mm fan at the front if the case is bad feel free to suggest one around £35 and are blower fans that much louder than axials?
Thanks :)

It depends: if you have one card in a case with lots of room for air to move around, yes, axial will be cooler and quieter. If you are running multiple cards or have a cramped case, its a better idea to get a blower that will get rid of the heat right away....
