Graphics Card advice

[sketchmasterx]

Hello,
I haven't built a system in a while so I'm back to being a newb but I'm after some advice, a graphics card on a budget to go in my new system (i7 3770, 8Gb RAM, Samsung Evo 120, RAID 0 500GB HD's, Prodigy case, M-ITX H77 motherboard).

I use the PC for the odd bit of gaming (Crysis 3 currently on 5850), my main use is Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5 and office. I read that Nvidia have ties in with Adobe that improve performance but there a bit of a gimmick???

My main thing I want though is a card that's fairly quiet, the PC is going to sit on desk and my other half already complains our PC on the floor sounds like a plane taking off.

Also any advice on quieting the PC in others ways would also be helpful.

Cheers.

p.s. not interested in overclocking, need super stable platform for work.

Do you have a budget in mind?

Also what resolution will you be gaming at ?

Oops sorry, meant to put that. Around the £150 mark is probably what I need to aim at, I'm running a 22' at 1080.

Cheers

All cards under load will make some noise , either one of these will do but if you need cuda then nvidia is there.
