Hi everybody,

just a quickie. My Geforce GTX 690 just died on me yesterday - Arctic Cooling anyone? ;( - so I have to buy a new card.

Now, my system runs on Intel i7-3770K w/ 16 gig RAM and an ASUS P8Z77-V PREMIUM mobo (PSU: Seasonic Platinum 1000W, case: Corsair Obsidian 550D). Top priority: SILENCE! I hated the noise my 690 made...

Q1: which GPU I should go for? Price is not really a concern but I don't neccessarily need the absolute best/fastest one out there especially if my current rig would bottleneck it in any way. 980ti? 1070? 1080? 1080ti even? I'm at a loss currently...

Q2: I need a decent monitor (somewhere between 24"-27" perhaps 28", preferably G-Sync ready. Suggestions (keeping Q1 in mind)?

I am not a hardcore gamer but would indulge myself with constant decent framerates. 4K is OK but not indispensable at all.

Thank you everybody!

Cheers!

1070 is a great option and very good performance for the money. If you plan to go for the 1440p screen (great resolution for 27").

If moneys no object then 1080 ti of course. Many of the dual and tripple fan options are pretty quite (a lot quieter than your 690), but if you really want it quiet then look at the MSI Seahawk or EVGA Hybrid versions, they use a AIO liquid cooler which keep them very cool and run very quiet.
