Dear community,
I'm building a new gaming PC and I'm still searching for the right graphics card.
For now, I'd go with the Sapphire R390 Nitro:
It's not too expensive and reviewed to be the quietest R390 model (max. 37dB).
However, I read a lot about the high heat and feat, that my airflow is too bad for the card:
An alternative that I can see is a GTX 970, which can be slightly cheaper and will be slightly less powerful but will get less hot and consume fewer power.
I picked the Gainward GTX 970 Phoenix, where these statements apply.
Given my preference of silence, which of the both cards should I install?
Is there another R390 or GTX 970 model you could recommend?
Which models of other GPUs could you recommend?
Cheers, Sebastian

However, I read a lot about the high heat and feat, that my airflow is too bad for the card:
■ AIO watercooled CPU at the rear
■ PSU at the rear bottom
■ 2x 140mm fans in the front
■ in a silence case (Fractal Design Define R5)
