    Evening all,

    Pretty much as the title says!

    It's going in an FT03, want the system to be as quiet and cool as possible (H60 for CPU). No preference on green or red, £100 - £150 roughly - but can adjust for the right card! System will be used for streaming HDTV via satellite / Blu-ray's / Football Manager / Facebook / cheeky bit of CoD every now and then.

    Good suggestions will result in cookies being rewarded :)

    6870 would be ideal for this.

    I have 2 EVGA GTX460 SC EE cards and as long as you keep the fans below 50% you can barely hear them. Crank the fans up and they get noisy.
