this is copy-pasted from the how-to since i'm bad at asking things like this :/

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: the 25th (payday) BUDGET RANGE: <£180

USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: general gaming in a corsair air 740 and then in a source SE 210H from nzxt as a living room pc (htpc?) once the parts for the system in the air 740 arrive

CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: gtx 480 (reference cooler), corsair tx650

OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: (system it will end up in) fx6300@4.5, 16 gb ram@1600

Gigabyte WF2

OVERCLOCKING: Maybe
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No

MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: i am mainly worried about sound, airflow and looks (in that order) and then the possibility of either overclocking or undervolting (this helped me squeeze 9% more performance from my current gtx 480 since it kept thermal throttling at stock volts)
