Need advice on silent GPU

padi89

I purchased a PC a few months ago on adverts and i am very happy with it, but i would like to change one component.Id prefer to have a relatively quiet system and the fan on the GPU is a little loud for my liking.Its an 8800gt with a Zalman fan so probably overkill for the little gaming i do
So i would appreciate suggestions on what my options are?As i said i very very rarely game, come to think of it i only played BF2 once the last month.

Also what price should i be looking for the 8800gt, don't undercut me ye feckers.

Something like a 8600gt with a heatpipe would do you fine. Never mind the link im posting, and dont waste yoru time ordering from these guys. See if you can find one on komplett or dabs.ie

Second hand? I'd say a hundred quid for the 512mb version. maybe 140 for the 1 gig.
