Hello guys, can anyone suggest me what gpu should i buy? I currently have:
1. thermaltake v4 case (grills on top)
2. 500watt ocz xstream psu
3. i3-4130 CPU .
4. Evo 840 ssd

My pc is running extremely quiet. I want to buy as quiet gpu as it's possible aswell. In this VIDEO i can see i3-4130 can handle even gtx 760. But not necesarily i might buy it. I will be playing gta 5, project cars once they are released on 1920x1080 resolution. Have you got any suggestions which gpu should i buy ? Thanks.
 
Solution
GTX 760 from ASUS or MSI
R9 270 from ASUS or MSI
750Ti from ASUS or MSI

hmm i think we have a pattern here.
Get a MSI gaming or ASUS DirectCUII aftermarket cooler on your card, they're some of the most silent ones. Those 3 cards would be good at your pricerange.

Hope this helps! :)

Personally I've only found after market GPU coolers to be quiet enough. I like Arctic Cooling. Make sure you get a card with a reference board as aftermarket coolers only provide compatibility with reference boards.

I barelly can hear the whole computer on idle and i hear it a bit when gaming. I had to use a manual fan graph because it's loud on stock RPM. Temperatures are up to 65c degress while having 99% of gpu usage. No aditional fans needed (only add noise), all the job is done by the grills on the top by my thermaltake v4. I have been expecting worse from r9 270x than it currently really is.
