Would this qualify as a pretty quiet card? Since I don't have super intense gaming requirements that's sort of a main focus. Thanks.

This card:
Video Card: Asus Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB Video Card ($238.98 @ SuperBiiz) comes with all the extra games is $70 cheaper is is EXTREMELY QUIET, it may be a bit weaker but if you are just doing lighter gaming this is a perfect card. Especially it being the quietest cooler on the market this should be a great deal.
