I am planning an i7 system with a quiet case etc.

I am looking for a reasonable ((£150 max) graphics card that is fanless or VERY quiet

- normal use
- DVD playback
- occasional game (by grandson)

Thanks, Mel
 
If the gaming isn't going to be too intense (low res, older titles) then this card (currently out of stock on OCUK) will be fine. If you want it to be able to play more recent games and/or at high resolution, then this card is great. Both of these cards are passively cooled, so they will not make any noise (though having some airflow over them is a very good idea).

If you need any more graphical power (not sure if its required) then you can get it whitin your budget, but these cards will have fans as they are much hotter than the above cards. This card is great and comes with a better cooling system so it will be quiet compared to the standard cooler.

Out of all this lot I think the passive gigabyte 4850 is your best bet.
